Currently there is only one iperf server that can reliably be used to measure network speeds beyond 10G. Given how many providers already sell servers with 10G or more ports, I would see it as a necessity to at least get a second server with a 100G port into that list.

The current distribution of IPERF servers is solid, but the lack of 100G-ready targets is becoming an issue as 10G/25G ports become more and more of standard with dedicated servers. We constantly see users hit a 7-8 Gbps ceiling on a 10G target and wrongly assume their server is underperforming; it's a recurring support annoyance that usually just comes down to that the only 100G server in YABS occasionally returns "busy" and then there is no server left that actually confirms to the user whats the maximum speed he can get from his servers.
iperf3serverlist.net doesn't show many 100G options, but I’m open to donate our 100G-connected IPERF server (
iperf3-vie-at.alwyzon.net) to the project to help provide a higher ceiling for these benchmarks. Push request is attached if this would be interesting to you.
