I've placed a port of Netperf 2.1pl1 on freefall:/pub/incoming as a FreeBSD port/package candidate. (freefall.freebsd.org:/pub/incoming/netperf-2.1pl1.port.tar.gz) 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. This port has been configured to allow testing of TCP/UDP and Unix domain sockets. For further information on `netperf' please look up: http://www.cup.hp.com/netperf/NetperfPage.html Disclaimer: Submitted as my personal effort, no connection with my employer. Koshy
