About:
Owamp is a reference implementation of the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP), designed to accurately measure one-way packet delay and loss between network hosts. It provides a foundational tool for assessing network performance characteristics like latency and jitter with high precision. This makes it essential for diagnosing quality of service issues in advanced network environments.
Key Features:
  • High-precision one-way delay measurement
  • Packet loss detection capabilities
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
  • Secure communication using AES encryption
  • Includes analysis and reporting tools
Use Cases:
  • Measuring network latency and jitter for real-time applications
  • Diagnosing asymmetric routing or path degradation issues
  • Validating Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between providers
Alternatives:
  • ping – Measures round-trip time (RTT) only, not one-way delay.
  • iperf3 – Focuses on bandwidth measurement rather than latency.
