Sorry for the late response. I just haven't had the time to try this out
earlier.

I think you forgot to add the HIT-to-IPv6 address mapping on the client
host. It has to be done manually because iperf is not linked to the HIP
enabled resolver library (libinet6). And for that reason, you cannot use
FQDN names either; use the HIT of the server directly in the client iperf.

Below there is an example run using iperf. I ran it on virtual machines,
so the performance is quite poor.
