SRPM Name or Url: http://people.redhat.com/rvokal/nuttcp/nuttcp-5.1.11-1.src.rpm
Description: nuttcp is possible replacement for ttcp package from Core.

       nuttcp  is  a  network performance measurement tool intended for use 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  buffers.
       In  addition  to  reporting  the  achieved  network throughput in Mbps,
       nuttcp also provides additional useful information related to the  data
       transfer  such  as  user,  system, and wall-clock time, transmitter and
       receiver CPU utilization, and loss percentage (for UDP transfers).

       nuttcp is based on nttcp, which in turn was an enhancement  by  someone
       at  Silicon  Graphics  (SGI) on the original ttcp, which was written by
       Mike Muuss at BRL sometime before December 1984, to compare the perfor-
       mance of TCP stacks by U.C. Berkeley and BBN to help DARPA decide which
       version to place in the first BSD Unix  release.   nuttcp  has  several
       useful  features beyond those of the basic ttcp/nttcp, such as a server
       mode, rate limiting, multiple parallel streams, and timer based  usage.
       nuttcp is also continuing to evolve to meet new requirements that arise
       and to add desired new features.  nuttcp has been  successfully  tested
       and  used  on a variety of Solaris, SGI, and PPC/X86 Linux systems, and
       should probably work fine on most flavors of Unix.
