November 8, 2004 - In 1999 PCAUSA provided a simple port of the Unix Text
TCP (TTCP) utility to Windows Sockets. The PCATTCP utility has been used
fairly widely for TCP benchmarking - even in some University research and
teaching situations.
Over the years minor bug fixes and improvements have been made, but no real
enhancements. One of my goals is to make a distributed TTCP system using the
.NET Framework and .NET Remoting. Although some progress has been made, a
release of a "TTCP Agent" and it's controlling "TTCP Console" won't be soon
giving my available spare time.
However, I thought it might be worthwhile to release a small, potentially
useful piece.
I have implemented a simple TTCP Transmitter (TtcpTx) using the .NET
Framework. It is a forms-based application that has a fairly sensible user
interface.
Executables and source are available for download.
