About:
Thrulay is a command-line tool designed to measure network performance by conducting latency and throughput tests between hosts. It provides precise, real-time metrics such as packet loss, jitter, and round-trip time, making it valuable for diagnosing network quality issues. The tool is particularly useful for evaluating the performance of UDP-based applications and streaming services.
Key Features:
  • Measures latency, jitter, and packet loss
  • Supports both TCP and UDP protocols
  • Provides real-time statistical output
  • Lightweight command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing network latency and jitter issues
  • Benchmarking throughput for streaming applications
  • Validating Quality of Service (QoS) on network links
Alternatives:
  • iperf3 – iperf3 is more widely used and feature-rich for throughput testing, while thrulay offers a more focused tool for latency and jitter measurement.
  • ping – ping is a basic ICMP-based latency tool, whereas thrulay provides more detailed statistical analysis and TCP/UDP testing.
