Description-en: Characterize the bandwidth, latency and loss on network links
pchar is a reimplementation of the pathchar utility, written by Van
Jacobson. Both programs attempt to characterize the bandwidth,
latency, and loss of links along an end-to-end path through the
Internet. pchar works in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
