High-Performance Connectivity Tracer (HiPerConTracer) is a Ping/Traceroute
measurement framework. HiPerConTracer refers to the core measurement tool, which
performs regular Ping and Traceroute runs among sites.
Key features include:
- Multi-transport-protocol support (ICMP, UDP);
- Multi-homing and parallelism support;
- Handling of network load balancing;
- Multi-platform support (currently Linux and FreeBSD);
- High-precision (nanosecond) timing (Linux software and hardware timestamping);
- Integrated library (shared/static) for third-party software
(libhipercontracer);
- Open-source C++ codebase focused on performance and portability with only a
small number of dependencies.
Furthermore, the HiPerConTracer framework provides additional tools for
obtaining, processing, collecting, storing, and retrieving measurement data:
- Viewer Tool: Displays the contents of results files.
- Results Tool: Merges and converts results files (e.g., to CSV format).
- Sync Tool: Copies data from a measurement node (vantage point) to a remote
collector server via RSync/SSH.
- Reverse Tunnel Tool: Maintains a reverse SSH tunnel from a remote measurement
node to a collector server.
- Collector/Node Tools: Simplify the setup of nodes and collectors.
- Trigger Tool: Triggers measurements in the reverse direction.
- Importer Tool: Stores measurement data into SQL (MariaDB/MySQL, PostgreSQL) or
NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
- Query Tool: Queries data from a database and stores it into a results file.
- Database Shell: A simple command-line front-end for the underlying database
backends.
- Database Tools: Helper scripts to join database configurations into an
existing DBeaver configuration.
- UDP Echo Server: A UDP Echo (RFC 862) protocol endpoint.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Add new port benchmarks/hipercontracer : High-Performance Connectivity Tracer
High-Performance Connectivity Tracer (HiPerConTracer) is a ping/traceroute
service.
It performs regular ping and traceroute runs among sites and can export the
results
into an SQL or Non-SQL database.
