TTCP is a utility program for measuring network throughput, popular on Unix systems.

TTCP can be used for both Windows and *nix systems alike. Testing can be done from a Windows machine to a *nix machine as long as they both have a TTCP application installed.

TTCP is installed on two machines. One will be the sender, the other the receiver. The receiver is started first and waits for a connection. Once the two connect the sending machine sends data to the receiver and displays the overall throughput of the network they traverse. The amount of data sent and other options are configurable through a simple command line interface. The output is generally in kB/s (kilobytes per second) instead of kbit/s (kilobits per second).

TTCP was created by Mike Muuss and Terry Slattery.
