pcattcp -h
PCAUSA Test TCP Utility V2.01.01.13 (IPv4/IPv6)
Usage: pcattcp -t [-4|-6] [-options] host [ < in ]
pcattcp -r [-4|-6] [-options > out]
Common options:
-4 use IPv4 (default)
-6 use IPv6
-l ## length of bufs read from or written to network (default 8192)
-u use UDP instead of TCP
-p ## port number to send to or listen at (default 5001)
Can specify multiple sequential ports two ways:
-p #first-#last
-p #first+#additional
-s toggle sinkmode (enabled by default)
sinkmode enabled:
-t: source (transmit) fabricated pattern
-r: sink (discard) all received data
sinkmode disabled:
-t: reads data to be transmitted from stdin
-r: writes received data to stdout
-A align the start of buffers to this modulus (default 16384)
-O start buffers at this offset from the modulus (default 0)
-v verbose: print more statistics
-d set SO_DEBUG socket option
-b ## set socket buffer size (if supported)
-f X format for rate: k,K = kilo{bit,byte}; m,M = mega; g,G = giga
-c -t: send continuously
-r: accept multiple connections sequentially
-a bind to local host interface IP address
Options specific to -t:
-n ## number of source bufs written to network (default 2048)
-D don't buffer TCP writes (sets TCP_NODELAY socket option)
-w ## milliseconds of delay before each write (default 0)
-R ## desired transmit data rate in bytes/second
Options specific to -r:
-M concurrent TCP/UDP multithreaded receiver
-B for -s, only output full blocks as specified by -l (for TAR)
-T "touch": access each byte as it's read
