PsPing v2.1: Ping, Latency, Bandwidth Tool

PsPing is a tool that allows users to test network connectivity and measure latency and bandwidth. It can perform ICMP ping, TCP ping, latency tests, and bandwidth tests. Users can specify options like the number of pings, request size, warmup iterations, and output format. Examples show how to use PsPing to test connectivity to a target, configure it as a server, and measure latency and bandwidth between hosts.

Introduction
PsPing implements Ping functionality, TCP ping, latency and bandwidth
measurement. Use the following command-line options to show the usage for each
test type:

Installation
Copy PsPing onto your executable path. Typing "psping" displays its usage syntax.

Using PsPing
PsPing implements Ping functionality, TCP ping, latency and bandwidth
measurement. Use the following command-line options to show the usage for each
test type:

Usage:

cmd Kopiraj

psping -? [i|t|l|b\]

1
Parameter Description

-? I Usage for ICMP ping.

-? T Usage for TCP ping.

-? L Usage for latency test.

-? B Usage for bandwidth test.

ICMP ping usage:

cmd Kopiraj

psping [[-6]|[-4]] [-h [buckets | <val1>,<val2>,...]] [-i <interval>] [-l


<requestsize>[k|m] [-q] [-t|-n <count>] [-w <count>] <destination>

Parameter Description

-h Print histogram (default bucket count is 20).

If you specify a single argument, it's interpreted as a bucket count and the
histogram will contain that number of buckets covering the entire time
range of values. Specify a comma-separated list of times to create a custom
histogram (e.g. "0.01,0.05,1,5,10").

-i Interval in seconds. Specify 0 for fast ping.

-l Request size. Append 'k' for kilobytes and 'm' for megabytes.

-n Number of pings or append 's' to specify seconds e.g. '10s'.

-q Don't output during pings.

-t Ping until stopped with Ctrl+C and type Ctrl+Break for statistics.

-w Warmup with the specified number of iterations (default is 1).

-4 Force using IPv4.

-6 Force using IPv6.

For high-speed ping tests use -q and -i 0.

TCP ping usage:

cmd Kopiraj

psping [[-6]|[-4]] [-h [buckets | <val1>,<val2>,...]] [-i <interval>] [-l


<requestsize>[k|m] [-q] [-t|-n <count>] [-w <count>] <destination:dest-
port>

Parameter Description

-h Print histogram (default bucket count is 20).

If you specify a single argument, it's interpreted as a bucket count and the
histogram will contain that number of buckets covering the entire time
range of values. Specify a comma-separated list of times to create a custom
histogram (e.g. "0.01,0.05,1,5,10").

-i Interval in seconds. Specify 0 for fast ping.

-l Request size. Append 'k' for kilobytes and 'm' for megabytes.

-n Number of pings or append 's' to specify seconds e.g. '10s'.

-q Don't output during pings.

-t Ping until stopped with Ctrl+C and type Ctrl+Break for statistics.

-w Warmup with the specified number of iterations (default is 1).

-4 Force using IPv4.

-6 Force using IPv6.

For high-speed ping tests use -q and -i 0.

TCP and UDP latency usage:

server:

cmd Kopiraj

psping [[-6]|[-4]] [-f] <-s source:sourceport>

client:

3
cmd Kopiraj

psping [[-6]|[-4]] [-f] [-u] [-h [buckets | <val1>,<val2>,...]] [-r] <-l


requestsize>[k|m]] <-n count> [-w <count>] <destination:destport>

Parameter Description

-f Open source firewall port during the run.

-u UDP (default is TCP).

-h Print histogram (default bucket count is 20).

If you specify a single argument, it's interpreted as a bucket count and the
histogram will contain that number of buckets covering the entire time
range of values. Specify a comma-separated list of times to create a custom
histogram (e.g. "0.01,0.05,1,5,10").

-l Request size. Append 'k' for kilobytes and 'm' for megabytes.

-n Number of sends/receives. Append 's' to specify seconds e.g. '10s'

-r Receive from the server instead of sending.

-w Warmup with the specified number of iterations (default is 5).

-4 Force using IPv4.

-6 Force using IPv6.

-s Server listening address and port.

The server can serve both latency and bandwidth tests and remains active until you
terminate it with Control-C.

TCP and UDP bandwidth usage:

server:

cmd Kopiraj

psping [[-6]|[-4]] [-f] <-s source:sourceport>

client:

4
cmd Kopiraj

psping [[-6]|[-4]] [-f] [-u] [-h [buckets | <val1>,<val2>,...]] [-r] <-l


requestsize>[k|m]] <-n count> [-i <outstanding>] [-w <count>] <destina-
tion:destport>

Parameter Description

-f Open source firewall port during the run.

-u UDP (default is TCP).

-b Bandwidth test.

-h Print histogram (default bucket count is 20).

If you specify a single argument, it's interpreted as a bucket count and the
histogram will contain that number of buckets covering the entire time
range of values. Specify a comma-separated list of times to create a custom
histogram (e.g. "0.01,0.05,1,5,10").

-i Number of outstanding I/Os (default is min of 16 and 2x CPU cores).

-l Request size. Append 'k' for kilobytes and 'm' for megabytes.

-n Number of sends/receives. Append 's' to specify seconds e.g. '10s'

-r Receive from the server instead of sending.

-w Warmup for the specified iterations (default is 2x CPU cores).

-4 Force using IPv4.

-6 Force using IPv6.

-s Server listening address and port.

The server can serve both latency and bandwidth tests and remains active until you
terminate it with Control-C.

Examples
This command executes an ICMP ping test for 10 iterations with 3 warmup iterations:

5
cmd Kopiraj

psping -n 10 -w 3 marklap

To execute a TCP connect test, specify the port number. The following command
executes connect attempts against the target as quickly as possible, only printing a
summary when finished with the 100 iterations and 1 warmup iteration:

cmd Kopiraj

psping -n 100 -i 0 -q marklap:80

To configure a server for latency and bandwidth tests, simply specify the -s option
and the source address and port the server will bind to:

cmd Kopiraj

psping -s 192.168.2.2:5000

A buffer size is required to perform a TCP latency test. This example measures the
round trip latency of sending an 8KB packet to the target server, printing a histogram
with 100 buckets when completed:

cmd Kopiraj

psping -l 8k -n 10000 -h 100 192.168.2.2:5000

This command tests bandwidth to a PsPing server listening at the target IP address
for 10 seconds and produces a histogram with 100 buckets. Note that the test must
run for at least one second after warmup for a histogram to generate. Simply add -u
to have PsPing perform a UDP bandwidth test.

cmd Kopiraj

psping -b -l 8k -n 10000 -h 100 192.168.2.2:5000
