It is inspired by the (closed source) pathchar -utility. Please do not assume that this program works exactly like pathchar -does. It only attempts to report the bandwidth between 2 hosts, and not the -bandwidth available at every hop on a route along the way. - -I've only tried compiling this on FreeBSD and Linux. There is some strange -behavior if your system has an outdated or limited FPU. My (oldassed) sparc -(this web server), for example, doesn't handle the floating point precision -types correctly for my tests. Oh well. +A bandwidth measurement tool. It was inspired by pathchar, but the algorithm +itself is much more elementary. It basically (and sometimes accurately) +assumes that latency is proportional to available bandwidth. Worth a +"just-for-fun" run. Michael Bacarella <mbac@nyct.net> |
