thrulay-ng is a network capacity tester based on thrulay 0.6. It consists of a client (thrulay) and a server (thrulayd) between which measurement takes place. Simply start thrulayd at the machine which should act as a server:
$ thrulaydThen start thrulay on the client machine with a command like:
$ thrulay -m 3 -t 10 hostThis performs a TCP throughput test with 3 parallel streams (set by the -m parameter). The test duration is 10 seconds (set by the -t parameter). By default, thrulay will print a progress report every second (in TCP tests) and prints final statistics after test duration is over.
Simply run thrulay without any parameter to get a list of options that are supported. Also have a look at the manual pages of thrulay and thrulayd.
The latest file releases are available from the SourceForge project page.
