Re: Authenticated testing?

[Matthew J Zekauskas <matt --at-- internet2.edu>]

FWIW, there are at least two existing options:

1. The bwctl program is currently a wrapper for iperf that
   provides some rudimentary authentication and pretty good
   scheduling.   <http://e2epi.internet2.edu/bwctl/>
   (you can have various limits based on either IP address
    or AES key)

2. I recall some other group (at LBL?) that wrote a wrapper
   or modified iperf to accept X.509 certs.  Maybe that's
   enough to search for a relevant web page.  (LBL==
   Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories in California).
