bwctl (bandwidth control) announcements list.

[Aaron Brown <>]

Hi All,

We have the second release candidate for a new version of bwctl.

There are a few new features in this release, including:
  - Support for iperf3, and improved support for nuttcp
  - Support for ping and owping (Run 'bwping -h' to see the available options)
  - Support for traceroute and tracepath (Run 'bwtraceroute -h' to see the 
available options)
  - Support for working behind a firewall (use the "-o" flag when the host 
behind the firewall is the receiver)
  - Handles NTP unsync a bit better (the daemon start, but will deny tests 
until NTP is synchronized)

Changes since -rc1:
  - Allow for tools like ping and traceroute to be run without the other side 
having bwctl using the -E option
  - Includes iperf 3.0.1
  - Bugfixes and cleanups

This is a beta-test version, and is not recommended for general use yet. 
However, we're hoping that, with some testing in the community, this can be 
improved quickly and a production release can happen relatively soon. We're 
especially interested in feedback on how easy it is to use the various new 
tools, and features.
