server, can bypass httpready protection and ultimately performs a fairly low
bandwidth denial of service. It has the added benefit of allowing the server
to come back at any time (once the program is killed), and not spamming the
logs excessively. It also keeps the load nice and low on the target server, so
other vital processes don't die unexpectedly, or cause alarm to anyone who is
logged into the server for other reasons.
The main audience using slowloris is of course a system administrators wanting
to measure their webserver's performance and vulnerability.

Solaris, and Linux. Geekbench is designed to measure the performance
an average application can expect from both the processor and the
memory subsystem.
Geekbench's benchmarks are written in platform-neutral C++, and have
no platform-specific optimizations. Geekbench is compiled with what we
consider the de-facto standard compiler for each platform, with the
compiler switches suggested by the compiler vendor for release code.

benchmarks, or a subset specified by the command line, can be run.
The rules, such as time measurement (including a repetitive call
of the kernels for better clock synchronization), message lengths,
selection of communicators to run a particular benchmark (inside
the group of all started processes) are program parameters.

Special features of thrulay include:
* For TCP, ability to measure round-trip delay along with throughput
* For UDP, ability to measure
- one-way delay, with quantiles
- packet loss
- packet duplication
- reordering
* For UDP, the ability to send precisely positioned true Poisson streams
(microsecond errors in sending times)

Pathrate is a tool that can estimate the capacity of network paths. An
important feature of Pathrate is that it is robust to cross traffic effects,
meaning that it can measure the path capacity even when the path is
significantly loaded. This is crucial, since the hardest paths to measure are
the heavily loaded ones.

pathChirp is a new active probing tool for estimating the available bandwidth
on a communication network path. Based on the concept of "self-induced
congestion", pathChirp features an exponential flight pattern of probes we
call a chirp. Packet chirps offer several significant advantages over current
probing schemes based on packet pairs or packet trains. By rapidly increasing
the probing rate within each chirp, pathChirp obtains a rich set of
information from which to dynamically estimate the available bandwidth.

dkftpbench is an FTP benchmark program inspired by SPECweb99. The
result of the benchmark is a number-of-simultaneous-users rating;
after running the benchmark properly, you have a good idea how many
simultaneous dialup clients a server can support. The target
bandwidth per client is set at 28.8 kilobits/second to model dialup
users; this is important for servers on the real Internet, which
often serve thousands of clients on only 10 MBits/sec of bandwidth.

Julian Elischer suggested a new category "net/benchmarks" because
he believes that too many ports are listed under net/. Checking
into it, I noticed that these two ports are described as
benchmarking programs. In the Porters' Handbook, the net
category is described as "miscellaneous networking software".
The benchmarks category seems more specific so I feel that it
is preferable.
