Pick Flent if…
Flent suits people making network experiments who want repeatable test runs and aggregated plots, especially for bufferbloat testing. It is available for Linux and macOS, with installation options also listed for FreeBSD.
Pick iPerf2 if…
It suits people who need to measure TCP or UDP network behavior across supported platforms, including self-hosted setups. The socket-level measurement limit and lack of interoperability with iPerf3 matter when choosing it.
