+## Installing the required tools on the emulated BNG server
+
+Some tools are required to perform data plane tests present in voltha-system-tests.
+The following commands install them:
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt-get install -y jq mz build-essential tcpdump
+```
+In the BNG you also need to install iperf3. Iperf3 needs to be installed from source to have some
+options used in the tests.
+```bash
+#remove existing installation if any
+sudo apt-get remove --purge iperf3
+#Clone and install from source
+git clone https://github.com/esnet/iperf.git -b 3.9
+cd iperf
+./configure && make && sudo make install
+```
+After installing `iperf3` on the BNG node it needs to be configured.
+Create the `iperf3.service` file:
+```bash
+vi /etc/systemd/system/iperf3.service
+```
+Include this content in the newly created file:
+```bash
+[Unit]
+Description=iperf3
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/iperf3 --server
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+Finally, start the iperf3 service
+```bash
+sudo service iperf3 start
+```
