+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 bytes.
+
+nuttcp is based on nttcp, but have several useful features such
+as a server mode, rate limiting, multiple parallel streams, and
+timer based usage.
