The betterspeedtest.sh script measures latency during file transfers. To invoke it:
sh betterspeedtest.sh [ -4 | -6 ] [ -H netperf-server ] [ -t duration ] [ -p host-to-ping ] [-n simultaneous-streams ]
sh betterspeedtest.sh [ -4 | -6 ] [ -H netperf-server ] [ -t duration ] [ -p host-to-ping ] [ -i ] [ -n simultaneous-streams ]

* -4 | -6: Enable ipv4 or ipv6 testing (default - ipv4)
* -t | --time: Duration for how long each direction's test should run - (default - 60 seconds)
* -p | --ping: Host to ping to measure latency (default - gstatic.com)
* -n | --number: Number of simultaneous sessions (default - 5 sessions)
* -i | --idle: Don't send traffic, only measure idle latency
* -n | --number: Number of simultaneous sessions (default - 5 sessions)
The output shows separate (one-way) download and upload speed, along with a summary of latencies, including min, max, average, median, and 10th and 90th percentiles so you can get a sense of the distribution. The tool also displays the percent packet loss. The example below shows two measurements, bad and good.

# Output the measured transfer rates and the resulting ping latency
# It's better than 'speedtest.net' because it measures latency *while* measuring the speed.
