Package Information
| Description | High-Performance Connectivity Tracer (HiPerConTracer) High-Performance Connectivity Tracer (HiPerConTracer) is a Ping/Traceroute measurement framework. HiPerConTracer denotes the actual measurement tool. It performs regular Ping and Traceroute runs among sites, featuring: multi-transport-protocol support (ICMP, UDP); multi-homing and parallelism support; handling of load balancing in the network; multi-platform support (currently Linux and FreeBSD); high-precision (nanoseconds) timing support (Linux timestamping, both software and hardware); a library (shared/static) to integrate measurement functionality into other software (libhipercontracer); open source and written in a performance- and portability-focused programming language (C++) with only limited dependencies. Furthermore, the HiPerConTracer Framework furthermore provides additional tools for helping to obtain, process, collect, store, and retrieve measurement data: HiPerConTracer Viewer Tool for displaying the contents of results files; Results Tool for merging and converting results files, e.g. to create a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file; Sync Tool for copying data from a measurement node (vantage point) to a remote HiPerConTracer Collector server (via RSync/SSH); Reverse Tunnel Tool for maintaining a reverse SSH tunnel from a remote measurement node to a HiPerConTracer Collector server; Collector/Node Tools for simplifying the setup of HiPerConTracer Nodes and a HiPerConTracer Collector server; Trigger Tool for triggering HiPerConTracer measurements in the reverse direction; Importer Tool for storing measurement data from results files into SQL or NoSQL databases. Currently, database backends for MariaDB/MySQL PostgreSQL, MongoDB) are provided; Query Tool for querying data from a database and storing it into a results file; Database Shell as simple command-line front-end for the underlying database backends; Database Tools with some helper scripts to e.g. to join HiPerConTracer database configurations into an existing DBeaver (a popular SQL database GUI application) configuration; UDP Echo Server as UDP Echo (RFC 862) protocol endpoint; Wireshark dissector for HiPerConTracer packets. This package contains the actual HiPerConTracer program. |

Changelog
hipercontracer (2.1.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
* debian/control: Removed obsolete libboost-system-dev dependency
(Closes: #1127210).
* debian/control: Updated Debian standards version.
* debian/*: Adapted the packaging, according to the tools description
in https://github.com/dreibh/hipercontracer/blob/master/README.md .
The split into sub-packages allows one to install a subset of the
HiPerConTracer tools, with their dependencies, without installing
the whole framework and all of its dependencies.
* debian/control: Removed Vcs-* fields.
* debian/*.install: usr/lib/*/ -> usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/..dsc
