Description

The windows version of ntttcp has the ability for a single sender to send to multiple receivers which does not work with this version of the utility. This served to essentially eliminate the receiver sides as bottlenecks allowing the client's send throughput to be fully measured. The windows syntax looked something like this: sender "ntttcp -s -t 60 -m 8,*,192.168.0.2 8,*,192.168.0.3 -l 256k -a 2 -p 5000"; receiver 1 "ntttcp -r -t 60 -m 8,*,192.168.0.2 -a 16 -p 5000"; receiver 2 "ntttcp -r -t 60 -m 8,*,192.168.0.3 -a 16 -p 5008".

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how sender and receiver arguments are parsed and how connection mappings are created, then compare them with the Windows multi-receiver syntax in the issue. Done means one sender can measure throughput while sending to multiple receivers without the receivers becoming bottlenecks.
