Netperf is a serious networking performance evaluation tool being
|
|
distributed under GPL by HP's Information Networks Division.
|
|
Testing is done using a pair of programs: `netserver' (the server) and
|
|
`netperf' (the measurement tool).
|
|
|
|
Netperf allows control over a large number of test `variables'.
|
|
Some of these are:
|
|
* specification of desired confidence levels for the tests
|
|
Netperf will warn the user if these levels were not achieved.
|
|
* filling send buffers with specified data (to beat compression schemes)
|
|
* specification of send/recieve buffer alignments and data offsets
|
|
* requesting cpu utilization and service demand calculations
|
|
* specification of sizes of data to send
|
|
Netperf can be used for measuring stream performance as well as
|
|
round-trip performance.
