I knew what iperf is, but I didn't know it was ported to lwIP (and 
escpecially the raw API).

Although that might not have anything to do with your problem, using 
PBUF_POOL for TX is not a good idea: at least with TCP, you risk 
deadlocks when running out of pbufs as incoming ACK segments can not be 
received to free allocated pbufs (if the pool is empty).

Try using pbuf_alloc(PBUF_RAW, SEND_BUFSIZE, PBUF_RAM) instead. Oh, and 
you didn't say if it sends 32 bytes of data or 32 bytes total.
