Julian Elischer suggested a new category "net/benchmarks" because
he believes that too many ports are listed under net/. Checking
into it, I noticed that these two ports are described as
benchmarking programs. In the Porters' Handbook, the net
category is described as "miscellaneous networking software".
The benchmarks category seems more specific so I feel that it
is preferable.

FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local
.freebsd.org net w/o hitting the 'net at all.

This program is an up to date version of the ttcp program.
It uses inetd (or simulates its behaviour) to start off the remote
side program which will send/receive data. Both sides measure the time
and number of bytes transfered. The local side will print the measures.
The format of the output can be specified on the commandline.
