I am proposing a change in the Linux WireGuard code. I want to run a benchmark and evaluate performance before/after the change.
Have anyone here attempted a local network benchmark ?

My LAN is 2.5Gb, but only one computer has a port available for these tests. (I also have a proxmox host, but I can't stop it to use for testing).
The other computers are laptops or raspberry-pis, and I don't think the test would be reliable.

I was considering using icmp or iperf3 over the WireGuard connection. Any suggestions ? Maybe a pair of Qemu machines (if so, how?) ?

Thanks
