In addition, tests for DLPI, and Unix Domain -Sockets, tests for IPv6 may be conditionally compiled-in. - -.SS GLOBAL OPTIONS - -.TP -.B \-4 -Use AF_INET (aka IPv4) addressing for the control and possibly data -connections. -.TP -.B \-6 -Use AF_INET6 (aka IPv6) addressing for the control and possibly data -connections. -.TP -.B \-a sizespec -Alter the send and receive buffer alignments on the local system. -This defaults to 8 bytes. -.TP -.B \-A sizespec -As -a, but for the remote system. -.TP -.B \-B brandstr -Add brandstr to the output of a test with banners disabled. -.TP -.B \-c [rate] -Request CPU utilization and service demand calculations for the -local system. If the optional rate parameter is specified, -.B netperf -will use that instead of calculating the rate itself. -.TP -.B \-C [rate] -As -c, but for the remote system. -.TP -.B \-d -Increase the quantity of debugging output displayed during -a test (possibly at the expense of performance). -.TP -.B \-D [secs,units] (*) -Display interim results at least every secs seconds uning units as the -initial guess for units per second. This is only available when -netperf has been configured with --enable-demo. -.TP -.B \-f GMKgmk -Change the units of measure for *_STREAM tests. Capital letters are -powers of two, lowercase are powers of ten. -.TP -.B \-F fill_file -Pre-fill the send buffers with data from the named file. This is -intended to provide a means for avoiding buffers that are filled with -data which is trivially easy to compress. A good choice for a file -that should be present on any system is this manpage - netperf.man. -Other files may be provided as part of the distribution. -.TP -.B \-h -Display a usage string, and exit. -.TP -.B \-H name|ip,family (*) -Set the hostname (or IP address) and address family to use to -establish the control connection to the remote system. Passing a -single name with no comma will only set remote_host and will leave -selection of address family for the control connection to the stack or -by a -4 -r -6 command line option. -.TP -.B \-i max,min -Set the maximum and minimum number of iterations when trying to reach -certain confidence levels. -.TP -.B \-I lvl,[,intvl] -Specify the confidence level (either 95 or 99 - 99 is the default) and -the width of the confidence interval as a percentage (default 10) -.TP -.B \-l testlen -Specify the length of the test (default 10 seconds). -A negative value sets the number of request/response transactions, -or the number of bytes for a stream test. -.TP -.B \-L name|ip,fam (*) -Set the local name|IP and/or address family for the socket used for -the control connection to the remote netserver. -.TP -.B \-n numcpus -Specify the number of CPU's in the system on those systems for which -netperf has no way to find the number of CPU's programatically. -.TP -.B \-N -This option will tell netperf to not establish a control connection to -a remote netserver. Instead it will try to establish a data -connection directly, using only the information supplied by the -command line parameters and/or internal defaults. Unless other ports -are provided by the command line, by default the data connection will -be to the "discard" port for a "STREAM" or "SENDFILE" test, the "echo" -port for an "RR" test or the "chargen" port for a "MAERTS" test. -.TP -.B \-o sizespec -Set an offset from the alignment specified with -a. -.TP -.B \-O sizespec -As -o, but for the remote system. -.TP -.B \-p portnum,locport (*) -Direct the control connection to a netserver listening on the -specified port, rather than using a "netperf" entry in -/etc/services or the internal default (port 12865). If ",locport" is -specified the control connection will be established from that local -port number. Specifying a single port number with no comma will -specify only the remote netserver port number and will leave local -port number selection to the stack. -.TP -.B \-P 0|1 -Show (1) or suppress (0) the test banner. -.TP -.B \-t testname -Specify the test to perform. -Valid testnames include, but are not limited to, nor always compiled-in: -.RS -.RS -.nf -.I TCP_STREAM -.I TCP_SENDFILE -.I TCP_MAERTS -.I TCP_RR -.I TCP_CRR -.I UDP_STREAM -.I UDP_RR -.I DLCO_STREAM -.I DLCO_RR -.I DLCL_STREAM -.I DLCL_RR -.I STREAM_STREAM -.I STREAM_RR -.I DG_STREAM -.I DG_RR -.I LOC_CPU -.I REM_CPU -.fi -.RE -.RE -.TP -.B \-T lcpu,remcpu -Request that netperf be bound to CPU lcpu and/or netserver be bound to -CPU rcpu. -.TP -.B \-v verbosity -Set the verbosity level for the test (only with -P). - - -.SS TEST SPECIFIC OPTIONS - -.TP -.B \-h -Display a usage string based on the test name set with -t, and exit. - -Please consult the netperf manual -.I -Netperf: A Network Performance Benchmark -(netperf.ps) for more information. Or you can join and mail to -netperf-talk@netperf.org. - -.SH NOTE -For those options taking two parms, at least one must be specified; -specifying one value without a comma will set both parms to that -value, specifying a value with a leading comma will set just the -second parm, a value with a trailing comma will set just the first. To -set each parm to unique values, specify both and separate them with a -comma. - -* For these options taking two parms, specifying one value with no -comma will only set the first parms and will leave the second at the -default value. To set the second value it must be preceded with a -comma or be a comma-separated pair. This is to retain previous netperf -behaviour. - - -.SH BUGS -There are bound to be bugs.
