NTttcp is used to profile and measure Windows networking performance. This tool was for ‘internal-only’ use for the last five years at Microsoft until now.

Description
- Optimizations added for 10GigE interfaces
- Increased platform support: x86, x64 and ARM
- Simplified usage (e.g. sender and receiver functionality determined with a simple parameter switch)
- Dynamic allocation of threads across all system cores (using ‘*’ for the processor ID mapping value)
- Startup order dependency removed (i.e. server/receiver will wait for the other rather than time out)
- Custom warm-up and cool down options available
- Results can be outputted to XML
- Ability to bind sender traffic to a specific IP address
- Synchronization of data ports, useful when running multiple instances
- An option to set the WAIT_ALL flag when using recv or WSARecv functions
