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 + * Trafic checksumming to detect failures in UDP transmissions + * Multicast support |
