Use this utility to test the performance of interactive ssh sessions or scp file transfers. It uses ssh to log into a remote system, then runs two tests: the first test sends one character at a time, waiting for each character to be returned while it records the latency time for each. The second test sends a dummy file over scp to /dev/null on the remote system.
