Test lan speed with dd & netcat (simple wrapper)

---

Inspired by http://tuxtweaks.com/2014/11/linux-network-speed-test/ method, a simple wrapper sh script to test LAN speed.

Usage

Make sure the script is executable. This script must be launched twice : once for the listener, then for the sender.

As listener

On the listener, launch the script with the following parameter:

$ ./rezovites.sh listen

This will launch netcat -lk 49999 (listening connexions on port 49999), and display the current IP adresses of the machine.

As sender

On the sender, launch the script with the following parameters:

$ ./rezovites.sh IP AMOUNT

This will send AMOUNT data (in MB) to given IP, using dd & netcat, and print the result.
