IPERF - CRC or Compare validation?

I understand that IPerf is primarily a stress / performance tool, but
does anyone know if IPerf does any CRC or file compare validation on
the the data that it sends and receives? Could not find any reference
to data integrity capabilities from MAN pages / web searches.

Thanks

That would seem to imply that it does not, which makes sense for
something only really meant for benchmarking not functional
correctness testing. Similarly, there is no such functionality in
netperf - the closest would be the ability to specify that the buffers
sent are filled with data from a specific file - but netperf does not
verify that those contents were received.
