FreeBSD benchmarks : ttcp

Benchmarking tool for analysing TCP and UDP performance

 TTCP is a benchmarking tool for determining TCP and UDP performance 
between 2 systems.

The program was created at the US Army Ballistics Research Lab (BRL)
and is in the public domain. Feel free to distribute this program
but please do leave the credit notices in the source and man page intact.

How to get TCP performance numbers:

	receiver				sender

host1%  ttcp -r -s			host2% ttcp -t -s host1

-n and -l options change the number and size of the buffers.

[REPOCOPY WAITING] ports/net/nttcp and ports/net/ttcp appear miscategorized

    Julian Elischer suggested a new category "net/benchmarks" because
    he believes that too many ports are listed under net/.  Checking
    into it, I noticed that these two ports are described as
    benchmarking programs.  In the Porters' Handbook, the net
    category is described as "miscellaneous networking software".
    The benchmarks category seems more specific so I feel that it
    is preferable.

I could never remember where to get it, others may find it useful
to have in the ports collection too.
