Byte Size Testing

lclient will attempt to download the given number of bytes from an lserve, mtptest, or MTPtestGUI running at the given address on port 8082.  The test can be done using either MTP/IP or TCP/IP.

If the “-m” option is given, it will use MTP/IP.  With the “-t” option, it will use TCP/IP.  For example:

host-11: lclient -t singapore.mtpip.net 5000000 Received 5000000 TCP bytes in 73.98 seconds (528.0 kbits/s)   host-12: lclient -m singapore.mtpip.net 5000000 Received 5000000 MTP bytes in 10.29 seconds (3795.8 kbits/s)

To ensure accurate results, be sure to specify a byte count that is large enough to require at least ten seconds to transport, and repeat the tests several times.  Using more and longer tests will provide more accurate results.
