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. — SpacemanSpiff, Apr 12 '12 at 18:33

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 01:35
It seems that you only need a plain telnet command :) telnet IP:PORT – Alex H Apr 13 '12 at 06:08
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 01:36
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 08:28

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.
