network benchmark in lua?

[Valerio Schiavoni <valerio.schiavoni@...>]

Hello,
i was wondering if it is already available a pure-lua solution to
perform simple network benchmarking.
In particular, something in the spirit of the well-known iperf tool
(http://iperf.sourceforge.net/) , to test the bandwidith between two
machines over tcp or udp.

I did a simpler version of such tool for tcp only, but it's coupled
with an external tool, whereas an implementation that depends only on
LuaSocket
would be advisable.

So, before I reinvent the wheel...


Thanks,
Valerio
