Flowgrind (original) (raw)

Flowgrind is a testing and benchmarking tool to measure throughput and other metrics for TCP.It was originally developed to study performance and behavior of TCP variants within Wireless mesh networks. In contrast to similar tools like Iperf or Netperf it features a distributed architecture, where throughput and othermetrics are measured between flowgrind server processes. The Flowgrind client hasthe purpose to schedule such measurements and collect the measurement data. Inherent with this architecture and its designation for Wireless mesh networks flowgrind supports:
