Flowgrind
Flowgrind is a tool similar to
iperf,
netperf
to measure throughput and other metrics for TCP and other protocols. It
features some unique characteristics which are of use when exploring the
idiosyncrasies of wireless mesh networks. For more information click

Ubuntu packages
You can install the ubuntu package of the latest flowgrind release by
adding a personal package archive (PPA) to your sources list.
You can do this with the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:umic-mesh/flowgrind
Currently the distributions natty and lucid are supported. We always try to upload packages for the latest stable and LTS version of Ubuntu.
