NAME

netserver - a network performance benchmark server

SYNOPSIS

netserver [-P portnum] [-n numcpus]

DESCRIPTION

Netserver listens for connections from a netperf(1L) benchmark, and responds accordingly. It can either be run from inetd(8) or as a standalone daemon (with the -p flag). If run from inetd(8) the -p option should not be used.

OPTIONS

-h

-n numcpus

Specify the number of CPU's in the system on those systems for which netperf(1L) has no way to find the number of CPU's programatically. (all but HP-UX)

-p portnum

Listen on the specified port. This is used when running as a standalone daemon.

-4

Use IPv4. This is the default.

-6

Use IPv6.
