Ethr- A Network Performance Measurement Tool For TCP, UDP And HTTP
Ethr is a cross platform network performance measurement tool written in golang.
The goal of this project is to provide a native tool for network performance measurements of bandwidth, connections/s, packets/s, latency, loss & jitter, across multiple protocols such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, and across multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux and other Unix systems.

Usage
Simple UsageHelp:
ethr -h
Server:
ethr -s
Server with Text UI:
ethr -s -ui
Client:
ethr -c <server ip>
Example:
// Start server
ethr -s
// Start client for default (bandwidth) test measurement using 1 thread
ethr -c localhost
// Start connections/s test using 64 threads
ethr -c localhost -t c -n 64
Complete Command Line
Common Parameters-h Help
-no Disable logging to a file
-o <filename> Log to the file specified by filename.
By default Ethr logs to ./ethrs.log for server & ./ethrc.log for client mode
-debug Log debug output
Server Parameters
-s Server mode
-ui Display text UI
Client Parameters
-c <server> Client mode, connect to name or IP specified by server
-t <b|c|p|l> Test to be done, b: bandwidth, c: connections/s, p: packets/s, l: latency
Default is bandwidth test
-p <tcp|udp|http|https|icmp> Protocol to use, default is TCP
-n <number> Number of sessions/threads to use
-l <number> Buffer size to use for each request
-i <number> Number of iterations for latency test
