Understanding iperf?
 
Anyone who can help me with this command:

iperf -s -u -B <multicast address> -i 1

What does the above command means?

-s - run in server mode
-u - use UDP
-B - bind to <multicast address>
-i 1 - 1 second between bandwidth reports

May I know how is multicast address set in Linux Machine?How is it setup in server machine?

multicast address includes the addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
You can just set e.g. iperf -s -u -B 239.0.0.1 -i 1 on server machine.
