The `-n` and `-timeouts` parameters have been added to the client, and are
documented in the usage. Quick examples:
```
tron:~/src/github.com/peteheist/irtt:% ./irtt client -timeouts
250ms,500ms,1s,2s -n 127.0.0.2
[Connecting] connecting to 127.0.0.2
Error: no reply from server
tron:~/src/github.com/peteheist/irtt:% echo $?
1
tron:~/src/github.com/peteheist/irtt:% ./irtt client -timeouts
250ms,500ms,1s,2s -n 127.0.0.1
[Connecting] connecting to 127.0.0.1
[Connected] connected to 127.0.0.1:2112
[NoTest] skipping test at user request
tron:~/src/github.com/peteheist/irtt:% echo $?
0
```
I don't know how aggressive you want to go on open packet timeouts, but I set a
minimum at 200ms so users won't be as tempted to abuse public servers. Default
Linux TCP syn timeout looks to be hardcoded at 3s,6s,12s, etc. I think our
default of 1s,2s,4s,8s is fine in this day and age. In flent, I think
250ms,500ms,1s,2s would be one way of being pretty sure whether a server is
running or not in a reasonable amount of time (3.75s), but I don't know what
actual the time constraints are.
I took a quick look at the irtt runner in flent. Looks good, my only comment is
that `-fill rand` and `-fillall` aren't necessary because there's no payload
(whose length would be specified with `-l`). Seeing that though made me add a
micro-optimization to not call Read with an empty slice on the Filler when
there's no payload requested. So if you want to leave those params in
anticipation of using `-l` later, it's probably fine.
That makes me think, any reason we can't use irtt for the voip tests? There
could be tests simulating some different codecs with different intervals and
payload lengths, if we wanted:
