+      nuttcp is a network performance measurement tool intended for use by
+      network and system managers. Its most basic usage is to determine the raw
+      TCP (or UDP) network layer throughput by transferring memory buffers from
+      a source system across an interconnecting network to a destination
+      system, either transferring data for a specified time interval, or
+      alternatively transferring a specified number of bytes. In addition to
+      reporting the achieved network throughput in Mbps, nuttcp also provides
+      additional useful information related to the data transfer such as user,
+      system, and wall-clock time, transmitter and receiver CPU utilization,
+      and loss percentage (for UDP transfers).
