bwping

ICMP-based command-line tool for measuring bandwidth and response time between two hosts

Desktopfree

bwping is a free command-line tool that measures bandwidth and response times between two hosts using ICMP echo request/reply, with a separate bwping6 variant for IPv6. It reports bandwidth, round-trip time, and packet loss at a configurable interval, and lets users tune parameters like packet size, transfer speed, and socket buffer size. It is aimed at network engineers who need a lightweight bandwidth-testing tool that doesn't require software on both ends of the link.
