lclient Option Summary
The following command line options are available for mtping. For more information about MTP/IP bandwidth management and performance tuning options, see DEI Tech Note 0005.
| -a <-3 to 5> | Advise MTP/IP as to how aggressive it should be in fully utilizing the network path. Positive values may increase performance at the expense of third-party traffic. Negative values may reduce path latency and allow better performance for other traffic, at the cost of reducing MTP/IP performance. Does not affect TCP/IP. |
| -d <level> | Turn on diagnostic output. Levels above 1 will produce copious output and degrade performance. |
| -e | (Unix only) Take the count as an elapsed time for the test, instead of a number of bytes. |
| -l <Kbytes/sec> | Limit the rate of MTP/IP downloading to this many kilobytes per second. Does not affect TCP/IP. |
| -m | Use MTP/IP to perform the test. |
| -N <4 to 5000> | MTP/IP normally regards packet loss as an indication of network congestion. This option will cause MTP/IP to ignore packet losses up to a rate of one in N, for a given number N. For example, a value of 100 will cause MTP/IP to ignore a loss rate of up to 1%. This option should only be used on noisy data paths where loss is occurring due to external factors such as uncorrected bit errors. |
| -p <port> | Specify the UDP and TCP port number of the server. Use this option if the server is running on a port other than the default 8082. |
| -r <milliseconds> | Limit MTP/IP to prevent the observed path Round Trip Time from exceeding this many milliseconds. Does not affect TCP/IP. |
| -R | Modify or remove license code registration. |
| -T <bytes> | Limit the size of the MTP/IP datagram payloads to the indicated number of bytes. This may be useful in diagnosing MTU related performance issues. MTP commonly uses 520 and 1424. If you suspect MTU issues, such as from PPPoE, IPsec, or other tunneling devices, try testing many values in the range of 500 to 1444. |
| -t | Use TCP/IP to perform the test. |
