Introduction

Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure various aspects of
networking performance.

supported by the IND Networking Performance Team.

Netperf is designed around the basic client-server model

TCP Stream Performance

#./netperf –H remotehost –t TCP_STREAM
The TCP stream test can be invoked with netperf though the use of the –t option
with an argument of TCP_STREAM.
 will perform a 10 sec test between the local and remote systems.

: set local send and receive socket buffer sizes
(Default: system default socket buffer sizes)
: which behaves just like –s for the remote system
: set the local send size to value bytes
(Default: local socket buffer size)
: set the receive size for the remote system, like –m option
: set the test length to value seconds, |value |
: set the TCP_NODELAY option to true on both systems
