  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : bandwidth test controller

BWCTL is a command line client application and a scheduling and policy daemon
that wraps the throughput testing tools Iperf, Thrulay, and Nuttcp.
These tests can measure maximum TCP bandwidth, with various tuning options
available, or, by doing a UDP test, the delay, jitter, and datagram loss
of a network.
