Bug Description

iperf3's man page clearly shows:

“--sctp use SCTP rather than TCP (FreeBSD and Linux)”

Yet if you try to use it:

“iperf3: unrecognized option '--sctp'”

<snip>

Either it is being built without SCTP support or the man page is wrong.

This is likely fixed in Cosmic as the Debian bug suggests:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858944

There's no reason this option shouldn't be enabled.
