 Performance can be measured between two ESP32s running this example, or between a single ESP32 and a computer running the iPerf tool
 
 Demo steps to test station TCP Tx performance:
+1. Configure in `menuconfig` which serial output you are using. Execute `idf.py menuconfig` and go to `Component config/ESP System Settings/Channel for console output`, then select the appropiate interface. By default the UART0 interface is used, this means that for example in the ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 or ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 you should connect to the micro-usb connector labeled as UART and not to the one labeled as USB. To use the one labeled as USB you should change the aforementioned setting to `USB Serial/JTAG Controller`.
