>Description:
In daemon mode, iperf consumes 100% of the available cpu after each client request. In udp single threaded mode, it will use 100% of the single cpu core it is scheduled on. In tcp mode, it will fork and eventually consume all available cpu cycles on the system.


>How-To-Repeat:
start iperf in daemon mode 

iperf --daemon

and then connect with iperf in client mode.
