Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm doing some basic stress testing of
a Linux kernel network IWF with netcat. The set-up is fairly
simple. On the target side:  nc -l -p 10000 > /dev/null  And on
my desktop I was running:  cat /dev/urandom | nc 10000  I'm
using urandom for some poor-mans fuzz testing. However I find
that even at this rate I can break something quite quickly.   So
I've been playing with trickle to rate limit how fast I'm
generating data:  cat /dev/urandom | trickle -u 10 nc 10000  But
it's hard to tell if this is working. What would be really
useful is a the pv equivilent of trickle that can work with
pipes.  share|improve this question just search for pv in your

Answer  Straight after posting I came across a tool called "Pipe
Viewer" which seems to be just what I need.
