tmetric(8)

NAME
tmetric - A bandwidth discovery tool

SYNOPSIS
tmetric [options] hostname

DESCRIPTION
tmetric attempts to determine the bandwidth available on the route to a specified host. It does this via a variant of the ping(8) command. Usual operation involves specifying a range of packet sizes to try, along with a resolution as well as a delay.

OPTIONS
The program follows typical command line behavior. Options are specified with an initial dash (-) and more than one flag may be specified after a dash.

-h  Show summary of options

-s size
    Start of packet range. No packet will be smaller than this size.

-e size
    End of packet range. No packet will be sent larger than this size.

-r resolution
    Resolution of the above packet range. Example: If you specify a range from 1000 through 5000 and a resolution of 5, packets will be sent starting from 1000, stepping up to 5000 in 1000 byte increments.

-v  Verbosity of tmetric at runtime. Specifying more v's generates more information on what tmetric is doing.

-d delay
    Delay (in seconds) between sending packets.
