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 EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE OUTDATED.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/ . BE SURE TO READ THE MANUAL. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE OUTDATED. This version of netperf has been opensourced by Hewlett Packard Enterprise using the MIT license. 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 [email protected]. 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 <[email protected]>. Be sure to include a meaningful subject lines. happy benchmarking, rick jones BE SURE TO READ THE MANUAL. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE OUTDATED. Licenses updated.
