NTTCP (New TTCP) times the transmission and reception of data between two
|
|
systems using the UDP or TCP protocols. It differs from common ``blast''
|
|
tests, which tend to measure the remote inetd as much as the network
|
|
performance, and which usually do not allow measurements at the remote end
|
|
of a UDP transmission.
|
|
|
|
The following is a short list of the improvements which have been made
|
|
over "classic" TTCP:
|
|
|
|
* Ported to a variety of operating systems
|
|
* Can be started via inetd
|
|
* Output can be customized on the commnad line
|
|
* Centralized reporting of the measurements
|
|
* Traffic checksumming to detect failures in UDP transmissions
|
|
* Multicast support
