What is Juniper's equivalent to netcat/nc command?

Question

On Linux there is a nice tool for testing connections, bandwidth, opening temp. connections etc: nc

What is equivalent on Juniper firewalls?

Please clarify if you're talking about NetScreen or SRX line of firewalls, they use two VERY different operating systems.

	Can one of these commands listen on a "temporary" port (while the command is running)? Can one of these cmd test if a TCP port is open on a remote machine? – Alex Apr 13 '12 at 1:35
	It seems that you only need a plain telnet command :) telnet IP:PORT – Alex H Apr 13 '12 at 6:08
	This does not allow you to measure bandwidth and only allows one way connection. I am looking for a more powerful command – Alex Apr 25 '12 at 1:36
	Seems Juniper does not provide any tools to measure bandwidth end to end. One can only do it via the connecting clients on both sides (with the proper routing/vpn in between). – Alex Jul 18 '12 at 8:28

I think the closest thing might be telnet

(I know this is a ScreenOS question but...)

In current JunOS nc isn't there, but you can just use telnet to arbitary ports.

If you need incoming you may have some luck using inetd.
