BE SURE TO READ THE MANUAL. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE OUTDATED.
|
|
|
|
This is a brief readme file for the netperf TCP/UDP/sockets/etc
|
|
performance benchmark. This is here mostly as a boot-strap. The real
|
|
information is in the manual, which can be found in netperf.ps and
|
|
online from http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html. The
|
|
sources, and a limited number of binaries, can be found from
|
|
ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/benchmarks/netperf/ .

|
There is a COPYRIGHT file included. It is called COPYING because that
|
|
is what autosomethingorother wanted. It is based on what the HP Legal
|
|
Eagles gave me. I am not sure if the legalese is clear, but the intent
|
|
is to say "Here is a benchmark. Use it in good health. Pass it along,
|
|
port it, enhance it. You didn't pay for this tool, so don't expect it
|
|
to be perfect ;-)" The rest of it is there to keep the layers happy...
|
|
|
|
While the copyright is pretty much in spirit an "open source" one, it
|
|
is not in letter - I never took the time to try to get it approved.
|
|
If you feel strongly about the license of the code you use and want
|
|
something under the GPL, consider netperf4:

|
Feel free to report netperf results in public forums, but please be
|
|
excruciatingly complete in your description of the test envorinment.

The old netperf database at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html
|
|
|
|
is no more - or rather the utilities for accessing it no longer run.
|
|
The data is still present in the tree, albeit _VERY_ old now.
|
|
|
|
There is an Internet mailing list devoted to netperf. It is called
|
|
netperf-talk and it is hosted on netperf.org. Subscription requests
|
|
should go to netperf-talk-request@netperf.org.
|
|
|
|
Please DO NOT SEND subscription requests to netperf-talk!
|
|
|
|
If you run into severe difficulties, or are just feeling chatty,
|
|
please feel free to drop some email to me - Rick Jones
|
|
<rick.jones2@hp.com>. Be sure to include a meaningful subject lines.
|
|
|
|
happy benchmarking,
