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. |
