iperf3 has long misused terminology; bandwidth is a measure of capacity. iperf3 measures bitrate or throughput. We standardize on "bitrate" because it begins with the same letter as "bandwidth" (to match the -b command-line option). User-facing output mentioning "bandwidth" now uses "bitrate". The long command-line option for -b (--bandwidth) is now --bitrate (--bandwidth is transparently accepted for backward compatibility). A few places in documentation that talk about bandwidth as a measured value have been reworded to use bitrate or throughput. There are a number of places in code where variables are still called "bandwidth". We leave these alone for now.
