Netperf - a networking performance benchmark/tool. The current version
includes throughput (bandwidth) and request/response (latency) tests
for TCP and UDP using the BSD sockets API, DLPI, Unix Domain Sockets,
the Fore ATM API, and HP HiPPI Link Level Access. Future versions may
support additional tests for XTI/TLI-TCP/UDP, and WINSOCK; in no
particular order, depending on the whim of the author and public
opinion. Included with the source code is a .ps manual, two manpages,
and a number of example scripts.

More information about netperf, and a database of netperf results can
be found with a forms-capable WWW broser at the 

<A HREF="http://www.cup.hp.com">Netperf Page</A>.

Various versions of netperf are also available via anonymous FTP from
many locations, including, but not limited to:

.ftp.cup.hp.com:dist/networking/benchmarks
.col.hp.com:dist/networking/benchmarks
.sgi.com
.hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk (and mirrors)

Hi -

A couple of corrections to the FAQ panel on netperf...

: be found with a forms-capable WWW broser at the 

: <A HREF="http://www.cup.hp.com">Netperf Page</A>.

That should be 

  <A HREF="http://www.cup.hp.com/netperf/NetperfPage.html">Netperf Page</A>


: Various versions of netperf are also available via anonymous FTP from
: many locations, including, but not limited to:

: .sgi.com

I've been told recently that this should be ftp.sgi.com.

thanks,

rick
