thrulay is used to measure the capacity of a network by sending a bulk
|
||
|
|
TCP stream over it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like other tools (such as iperf, netperf, nettest, nuttcp, ttcp, etc.),
|
||
|
|
thrulay can report TCP throughput periodically so that TCP performance
|
||
|
|
plots can be produced. Unlike other tools, thrulay not only reports goodput,
|
||
|
|
but round-trip delay time as well. The output of thrulay is easy to parse
|
||
|
|
by machine (in fact, it's ready to be used as a data file for gnuplot).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Starting from version 0.5, thrulay supports UDP tests. Unique feature of
|
||
|
|
thrulay is that it can send a Poisson stream of very precisely positioned
|
||
|
|
packets; the TSC register is used for timing rather than very coarse
|
||
|
|
(20ms on most systems) system sleep functionality.
