Could somebody tell me how to obtain a copy of ttcp.c source code? Thank you! Reach me by: tml@mimir.dmt.oz ( email )

It has been observed that page misalignment substantially affects the TCP &
UDP performance of some systems. Given common bcopy/copy{in,out}/usercopy
implementations, one would expect dramatic effects from byte-misaligment.
So there is now a version of ttcp which allows the base of the buffers to
be known and controlled in sgi/src/ttcp.shar via public ftp to sgi.com.
The shar file also contains a man-page (hacked at SGI, so all errors are
ours). It has been submitted to comp.sources.unix.
Anyone care to say publically how many vendors are near or past 1MByte/sec?
