-l    length of bufs written to network (default 1024)
-n   number of bufs written to network (-s only, default 1024)

see http://sd.wareonearth.com/~phil/net/ttcp/ [http://sd.wareonearth.com/~phil/net/ttcp/] for more details.

also:
man ttcp





<div>
so -l is the amount of data we're writing to the other machine? and -n is the amount of times we're writing the data?

Thanks, just for clarifications sake:<br />
<br />
-l is the amount of data we're writing to the network PER PACKET?<br />
<br />
-n is the number of times this data is being sent? &nbsp;I know you said the number of times the buffer will be transmitted. But is that the same thing as sending it? (since it will go in the sender's receive buffer anyway)?<br />
<br />
Thanks man

I cant find any good documentation that explains the commands. I'm running it this way.<br />
<br />
On the receiver:<br />
ttcp -rs -l1024 -n10 -p4444<br />
<br />
<br />
On the sender:<br />
ttcp -ts -l1024 -n10 -p4444 dest_ip_here<br />
<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me what the -l switch and the -n switch do? &nbsp;(in layman terms). I know it has something to do with packet length. Right? <br />
Also, feel free to elaborate and give any pertinent info you think may help.<br />
thanks

Anyone here use the TTCP program before?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
