1 Netperf is a serious networking performance evaluation tool being
2 distributed under GPL by HP's Information Networks Division.
3 Testing is done using a pair of programs: `netserver' (the server) and
4 `netperf' (the measurement tool).
6 Netperf allows control over a large number of test `variables'.
9 * specification of desired confidence levels for the tests
10 Netperf will warn the user if these levels were not achieved.
11 * filling send buffers with specified data (to beat compression
13 * specification of send/recieve buffer alignments and data offsets
14 * requesting cpu utilization and service demand calculations
15 * specification of sizes of data to send
17 Netperf can be used for measuring stream performance as well as
18 round-trip performance.
20 This port of netperf has been configured to support:
22 TCP and UDP via BSD sockets
