Will iperf3 support poll or epoll in the future?

[endinferno]

Recently I tried to rewrite 'select' in iperf3 to 'poll' or 'epoll'.
Will iperf3 officially have this plan?

What problem are you trying to solve by switching from select() to poll()? I understand that there are a number of ways that poll() is "better" but I'm trying to see which, if any, are applicable to iperf3 and whether it's worth the effort to do this change. Thanks!

Because I want to port iperf3 to an operating system which have no select, only have poll and epoll.

Also with select we are bounded to FD_SETSIZE value limitation (1024) which means there is not possible to have more than 500 parallel flows even if we change iperf's internal max value.

We have discussed this, but have not looked into it yet. We're going to be looking into how we use select, since there have been a few recent changes to it.

Great, I hope there will be possibility to have more parallel flows in the future. Thank you for great work.
