mean_time_net_test(1)

NAME

mean_time_net_test - Calculate selected net performance mean values from selected weekly data files at hour-of-day intervals

SYNOPSIS

mean_time_net_test  [Option [...]] DataRoot {MeanFile, -} SrcHost/DestHost [...]

DESCRIPTION

The script mean_time_net_test calculates net performance mean data from weekly data files. The mean values are calculated as a function of the hours of the day where the data were measured. The mean values are calculated for the specified connection(s) from SrcHost to DestHost. Both hosts may be specified with the host titles or (IP) addresses. The connection between both hosts may be one-directional or two-directional. The mean values can be calculated for the throughput values and for the minimum, average, maximum or lost round-trip values. It is also possible to add a previously obtained help file with sum and number values to the mean values to be calculated.

However, besides calculating the mean values it is also possible to determine the minimum and maximum values at the hours of the day. See the option -oper.

The mean time values can be calculated as a function from the following attributes:

The mean time values output file, MeanFile, is in the format of a gnuplot(1) data file. Therefore, it contains the following fields:

Hour  MeanValue

OPTIONS

The following options can be specified:

-add_sum_nr {SumNrFile, -}
Add the sum/nr data from the corresponding SumNrFile file or from Standard Input to the mean values to be calculated. This option may be multiple specified. See also the -sum_nr option.

-hour MinHour[-MaxHour]
Set the hour interval. This option may be multiple specified. Default all hours are added to the mean.

-net_type {Inet, QoS}
Specify the net type. The default is: Inet.

-no_print
Do not print the values to be added to the mean values. Default they are not printed.

-no_symm_conn
Use the connection between both hosts not symmetric (i.e. in one direction). This is the default.

-oper {mean, min, max}
Specify the default operation to perform with the data values at the hours of the day. The default operation is to calculate the mean values.

-ping_type {min, avg, max, lost}
Specify the ping type. The default is: avg.

-print
Print the values to be added to the mean vales to Standard Error in the format:

Date  WeekDay  Hour  Value  SrcHost  DestHost

Default the values are not printed.

-sum_nr {SumNrFile, -}
Write the sum/nr values, from which the mean values are calculated, to file. They may be used to add these results to another mean calculation. See the option -add_sum_nr.

-symm_conn
Use the connection between both hosts symmetric (i.e. in two directions). Default there is not a symmetric connection.

-test_type {ping, throughput}
Set the test type to determine the mean values from. The default test type is: throughput.

-week MinWeek[-MaxWeek]
Set the week interval. This option may be multiple specified. Default all available weeks are added to the mean values.

-week_day MinWeekDay[-MaxWeekDay]
Set the day-of-the week ([0-6]). This option may be multiple specified. Default all available weeks are added to the mean values.
