bwctl (bandwidth control) announcements list.

[Aaron Brown <>]

Hi all,

A new version of BWCTL is now available. BWCTL 1.5.1 is a major upgrade over 
the previously released version.

Notable additions in this release:
- 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 iperf3, and improved support for nuttcp
- Support for working behind a firewall for iperf3, ping, traceroute and 
tracepath (use the "--flip" flag when the receiver is behind the firewall)
- Handles NTP unsync a bit better (the daemon start, but will deny tests 
until NTP is synchronized)

Those who are using the perfSONAR Toolkit, or otherwise have the Internet2 
RPM repository enabled, can run 'yum update' to get the latest changes. For 
those who are installing from source or prefer to install the RPMs manually, 
the newest version can be downloaded from http://software.internet2.edu/ . 
After installation, you will need to restart bwctld to use the new features. 
You can do this by running “/etc/init.d/bwctld restart”.

Please let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to 
everyone's continued feedback and support!

Thank you,
The perfSONAR-PS Development Team
