Saturating WAN links

I have a lab setup spanning across a couple of cities for testing and sales demos and what not. Lately it has been used mainly for SDWAN stuff. Each city has a Spirent traffic generator and it's been handy for testing use cases over real WAN links and then congesting them, seeing how everything behaves, etc.

The issue I've come across now is that my company wants to add another city into the mix but we don't have the budget for another Spirent box. I tried iPerf to load up the WAN connections but only achieved about 12 Mbps on a 50 Mbps circuit.

Can iPerf do what I want it to do, or should I be looking at something else?
