o Allow longer server info timeout for third party via --idle-data-timeout
o Added feature to specify source port with "-p#:#" and "-P#:#"
o Add "-g" option to specify multicast IP address to use
o Clean up really confused transmit code for IPv4/IPv6 SSM multicast
o Bug fix from Aristeu Rozanski:
Crash caused by closing TCP_ADV_WIN_SCALE file even if open failed
o Fix bug with server CPU affinity being parsed as %X instead of %d
For non-sinkmode insure complete network block is written to stdout
Above fixes nuttscp bug seen with --copy-dir getting premature EOF
o Not every system has ERESTART added in 7.1.4, wrapped in ifdef
o Fix non-Linux systems to properly count TCP retrans for multiple streams
o Detect EOD for non-sinkmode UDP transfers
o Suppress bogus warning when using maximum size UDP packet
o Terminate non-sinkmode after specified file size with "-n" option
o Allow multilink aggregation with "-N##m" option to work for receive
o Add "-sz" zero copy option for non-sinkmode when input is a regular file
o Remove "-Sf" forced server mode from Usage: statement
o Fix zeroing of clientaddr6 during server cleanup
o Fix freeaddrinfo() processing during cleanup
o Change manually started oneshot server to have parent process just exit
o Provide summary TCP retrans info for multi-stream TCP
o Fix bug with retrans interval info when -fparse
o Add "+stride" or "+n.n.n.n" syntax for multi-stream TCP (IPv4)
o Fix third party bug with "-xc" option adding extraneous 't' character
o Add optional client-side name resolution for third party host
o Add "-N##m" option for multilink aggregation for multiple streams
o Add "-xc#/#" and "-P#/#" options to Usage: statement
o Enable jitter measurements with "-j" option
o Enable one-way delay measurements with "-o" option
o Fix bug with RTT and -fparse
o Change ctl/data port checks to < 1024 instead of < 5000
o Fix "--idle-data-timeout" Usage: statement for new default minimum
o Improve transmit performance with "-i" by setting poll() timeout to 0
o Don't output interval retrans info if non-sinkmode (for nuttscp)
o Skip check for unACKed data at end of transfer if -DBROKEN_UNACKED
o Play nice with iperf (change default data port to 5101)
o Delay sending of server "OK" until after successful server bind()
o Client check for server errors before starting data transfer
o Continue checking for server output while draining client transmission
o Correct "server not ACKing data" error message (server -> receiver)
o Add "--packet-burst" option for Rob
o Fix "--idle-data-timeout" Usage: statement for client
o Improve accuracy of retrans info timing synchronization (client xmitter)
o Allow rate limit to be exceeded temporarily by n packets ("-Rixxx/n")
o Allow setting server CPU affinity from client via "-xcs" option
o Allow setting client & server CPU affinity via third party
o Allow passing of third party control port via "-Pctlport/ctlport3"
o Up default idle data minimum to 15 sec to better handle net transients
o Don't reset nstream until after last use (fix getaddrinfo() memory leak)
o Fix bug with simultaneous server connections to manually started server
o Fix Usage: statement: "--idle-data-timeout" both server & client option
o Don't reset priority on server cleanup
o Fix priority output for "-fparse"
o Fix bad third party bug causing >= 1 minute transfers to silently fail
o Fix Usage: statement: "--idle-data-timeout" not just a server option
o Added IPv6 and SSM MC support
Ported from Rob's 5.5.5 based code by Bill Fink
o Fix client lockup with third party when network problem (for scripts)
o Bugfix: set chk_idle_data on client (now also checks no data received)
o Use argv[0] instead of "nuttcp" for third party
o Bugfix: give error message again on error starting server
o Timeout client accept() too and give nice error message (for scripts)

by network and system managers. Its most basic usage is to determine
the raw TCP (or UDP) network layer throughput by transferring memory
buffers from a source system across an interconnecting network to
a destination system, either transferring data for a specified time
interval, or alternatively transferring a specified number of bytes.
nuttcp is based on nttcp, but have several useful features such
as a server mode, rate limiting, multiple parallel streams, and
timer based usage.
