# tct
|
||||
|
||||
**tct** (**t**cp **c**onnection **t**imer) is a quick and minimal program (< 70
|
||||
LoC!) that helps determine the "optimal" number of parallel TCP requests for
|
||||
your network connection.
|
||||
**t**cp **c**onnection **t**imer (tct) is a miniscule utility to help determinee
|
||||
the "optimal" number of parallel TCP requests for your network connection, for a
|
||||
given target.
|
||||
|
||||
It performs a series of tests (following your desired configuration) by
|
||||
incrementally increasing the number of parallel requests and measuring the time
|
||||

@ -11,6 +11,48 @@ taken for each test.
|
|||
The optimal number is identified as the point where adding more parallel
|
||||
requests does not significantly reduce the overall time taken.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
tct [flags]
|
||||
|
||||
Flags:
|
||||
-d, --delay duration Delay between requests
|
||||
-h, --help help for tct
|
||||
-m, --max int Maximum number of parallel requests (default 100)
|
||||
-u, --url string URL to fetch (default "http://example.com")
|
||||
-v, --version version for tct
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tct --max 200 --delay 100ms --url "http://yourtargeturl.com"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `"http://yourtargeturl.com"` with the actual URL you wish to test
|
||||
against. You can also omit the URL and use an IP address instead. For example,
|
||||
`8.8.8.8` for Google or `1.1.1.1` for Cloudflare. You may notice differences
|
||||
between target URLs as a result of different distances to different hosts, or
|
||||
different network setups.
|
||||
|
||||
The `--max` parameter specifies the maximum number of parallel requests to test,
|
||||
and `--delay` sets the interval between each request.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> You are strongly advised to use the delay option. I have observed high latency
|
||||
> while running with the default 0 second delay, which is likely some form of
|
||||
> throttling by the host. If you test against an URL that you _know_ does not

### Flags
|
||||
|
||||
- `--url`: The URL to fetch.
|
||||
- `--max`: Maximum number of parallel requests to test. Default is `100`
|
||||
- `--delay`: Delay between requests. Can be specified as a duration (e.g.,
|
||||
`500ms`). Default is `0` (i.e. no delay)
