Run in client mode and connect to <server>.
Server is specified using name, FQDN or IP address.
-b <rate>
Bytes to send per second (format: <num>[KB | MB | GB])
Transmit only Bits per second (format: <num>[K | M | G])
Only valid for Bandwidth tests. Default: 0 - Unlimited
Examples: 100 (100B/s or 800bits/s), 1MB (1MB/s or 8Mbits/s).
Examples: 100 (100bits/s), 1M (1Mbits/s).
-cport <number>
Use specified local port number in client for TCP & UDP tests.
Default: 0 - Ephemeral Port
