Gigabit Ethernet performance testing

[fire219]

For documenting the performance of the Gigabit ethernet onboard the Rock64.

If you want to post your own results, remember to mention which board you are using (1/2/4GB), OS/kernel, and any relevant software or hardware changes you have made.

Most testing will be done using iperf3 (sudo apt-get install iperf3), but other benchmarking methods are welcome.

Also do not forget to set the performance CPU governor (must do through sudo -i or sudo tee). (echo performance >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
