BWPing is a small utility for bandwidth measuring. It employs ICMP
echo/request packets, and thus does not need additional software on the
target host. It uses little CPU and is very well suited to lossy
links.

I use it for measuring bandwidth of multi-hop wifi links in mesh networks.

The package includes a patch to make BWPing work on the ARM strict
alignment big endian plattform I use OpenWRT on.

+  BWPing
+  BWPing is a bandwidth measurement tool based on ICMP echo
+  request/reply.  It is especially well suited for lossy links. BWPing
+  does not not require any special software on the remote host (only
+  the ability to respond on ICMP echo request messages).
