TTCP - Throughput Analysis Tool

[809381]

Hi There,

I'm looking for a technical expertise on "ttcp" un- documented command. Is this tool realiable enough to validate line rate of high-speed circuit at turn-up period.

Ex :

I order a 30 Meg (full-Duplex) circuit from a provider ATM cloud. What throughput or wire rate I should be expecting (Wire rate from access site to provider backbone; router to router link).

Thx,

Abe.
