Nuttcp-Cygwin-GUI Description
Nuttcp-Cygwin-GUI was developed as a Graphical User Interface for Nutccp, a versatile utility that measures network performance. Unlike the original project, which targets Solaris and Linux systems, Nuttcp-Cygwin-GUI has been built especially to meet the needs of Windows users. This was made possible with the aid of Cygwin, which was responsible for generating OS compatibility and with Jperf, which contributed in the making of the GUI. The result is a perfectly manageable tester for bandwidth measurements that sports appealing looks and can be managed by users with a minimal level of know-how concerning network communications. Nuttcp-Cygwin-GUI is Java-dependent, which means you will have to install JRE prior to running the utility. The program comes inside an out-of-the box package that doesn’t need installation and can be launched via a simple BAT file located in the download archive. Also, Nuttcp-Cygwin-GUI is brought with Nutccp embedded inside its folders, therefore you won’t be required to provide it yourself. In terms of appearance, the program sports simple, yet intuitive looks which are complemented by even more luring functionality. There are two different testing modes, namely client and server. For the first one, you need to enter the IP address, port and the number of parallel streams of the host, then to press the ‘Run’ button and keep an eye on the output, which will be presented inside a graph. For the second method, you are required to specify the server’s listening port, the number of connections and the client limit. The bandwidth testing outcome will be recorded similar to the client mode, inside an easy-to-interpret graph. Experienced users can indulge in configuring advanced running parameters such as transfer and IP layer options, namely to select the protocol to be used (TCP or UDP) and all the preferences adjacent to each of these two (buffer length and size, packet size and so on). To conclude, Nuttcp-Cygwin-GUI can benefit users who deal with network tests on a daily basis. It is not difficult to operate, but some degree of knowledge is required to configure the application and to interpret the results. Reviewed by Andreea Matei, last updated on February 8th, 2014
