NAME

   netstress - utility designed to stress and benchmark network activity

SYNOPSIS

   netstress -m[NAME] | --master=[NAME] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

   Client/server  utility  designed to stress & benchmark network activity
   of a given ethernet device or path using simulated (random) real  world
   data and packet sizes instead of fixed data and packet sizes.

   Easily command line usage with random packets sizes and random data for
   read, write, or read & write (default) testing and reporting  benchmark
   results from the ethernet device.

OPTIONS

   -m[NAME], --master[=NAME]
          This instance is the master

   -s[NAME], --slave[=NAME]
          This instance is the slave

   -h, --host nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
          Use this host or IP address

   -p, --port nnn
          Use this port (default=5678)

   --seed, -S nnn
          Use this random number seed (master only)

   -c, --ctime
          Report current time (default reports elapsed time)

   -n, --nsec nnn
          Report every nnn seconds (default=5)

   -N, --nrep nnn
          Benchmark every nnn reports (default=3)

   -b, --bytes
          Benchmark using bytes (default is bits)

   -M, --mps
          Benchmark using mbytes/sec or mbits/sec (default)

   -K, --kps
          Benchmark using kbytes/sec or kbits/sec

   -B, --bps
          Benchmark using  bytes/sec or  bits/sec

   -w, --mwo
          Only test master write / slave read

   -r, --mro
          Only test master read / slave write

   -R, --realrandom
          Do real random test (not pseudo random)

   -f, --fast
          Run Fast (no checking, no real_random)

   -v, --verbosity
          Enable verbosity (multiples increase level)

   -d, --debug
          Enable debugging (multiples increase level)

   -?, --help
