+This adds the ''iperf'' application functionality to the group. ''iperf'' is an application which measures connectivity by sending data packets between groups. To see a complete list of possible parameters and measurements available, examine the source code of the ''iperf'' wrapper applications. 
 
-''setProperty'' is fairly self-explanatory. It simply configures individual parameters germane to the operation of iperf.
+The ''iperf'' application contains two types of functions: properties (parameters) and measurements (different data collection tools). Properties simply add various optional and required parameters to the ''iperf'' call. Measurements specify data to be collected by OML, and are the "interesting" part of the experiment.
 
-Here, ''app.measure'' is interesting because it is only one of the possible measurements that can be taken by the iperf app. For the others, see the ''iperf.rb'' code.
+''setProperty'' is fairly self-explanatory. It simply configures individual parameters germane to the operation of iperf, as defined in the wrapper application.

+''app.measure'' collects the data and leverages OML to save them to an external service. A measurement type should be specified to ensure that data is collected properly.
