Gabriela Cervantes dff800a8ff metrics: Remove iperf3 server protocol
This PR removes the iperf3 server protocol as this server definition is
also used for the UDP iperf3 benchmarks to avoid duplication of the
same yaml files.

Fixes #8829

Kata Containers network metrics

Kata Containers provides a series of network performance tests. Running these provides a basic reference for measuring network essentials like bandwidth, jitter, latency and parallel bandwidth.

Performance tools

  • iperf3 measures bandwidth, jitter, CPU usage, parallel bandwidth and the quality of a network link.

Networking tests

  • k8s-network-metrics-iperf3.sh measures bandwidth which is the speed of the data transfer.
  • latency-network.sh measures network latency.
  • nginx-network.sh is a benchmark of the lightweight Nginx HTTPS web-server and measures the HTTP requests over a fixed period of time with a configurable number of concurrent clients/connections.
  • k8s-network-metrics-iperf3-udp.sh measures UDP bandwidth and parallel bandwidth which is the speed of the data transfer.

Running the tests

Individual tests can be run by hand, for example:

$ cd metrics
$ bash network/iperf3_kubernetes/k8s-network-metrics-iperf3.sh -b
