Hi All,

I've added a low impact, low duty cycle responsiveness test to iperf 2.  Man page is here.

[rjmcmahon@bobcat iperf2-code]$ iperf -v
iperf version 2.1.8-rc (6 August 2022) pthreads

[rjmcmahon@bobcat iperf2-code]$ iperf -s --permit-key=mytest  -P 1 --hide-ips
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size:  128 KByte (default)
Permit key is 'mytest' (timeout in 20.0 seconds)
------------------------------------------------------------

[rjmcmahon@ryzen3950 iperf2-code]$ iperf -c hostname -i 1 --bounceback --permit-key=mytest --hide-ips
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to (**hidden**), TCP port 5001
Bursting:  100 Byte writes 10 times every 1.00 second(s)
Bounce-back test (size= 100 Byte) (server hold req=0 usecs)
TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
