Package netperf-2.3.5 was released 2007-03-15. Netperf is a general purpose tool for benchmarking bandwidth and performance of the Internet Protocol suite. The OpenSS7 Modified OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package is an OpenSS7 Project release of the of the Hewlett-Packard netperf package configured to run with OpenSS7 STREAMS SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) and the OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI and INET packages.
The OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package provide primarily the netperf(1) and netserver(8), C Language programs that act as Netperf client or server for testing connections and networking. The netserver(8) program is executed on one host acting as a server, and then netperf(1) is executed on another host acting in client mode. Characteristics of the connection or association can be altered when formed. Reporting formats and sample intervals can also be altered when the connection or association is formed. Users executing netperf(1) do not need to have shell access to the netserver(8) host. This is a fork of the Netperf package released by Hewlett-Packard modified by the OpenSS7 Project (http://www.openss7.org/) for use with OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI, INET and SCTP packages. This OpenSS7 release of the package is based on the Netperf-2.3 release from Hewlett-Packard. Modifications to the package are derived from the OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI, INET and SCTP implementations and are release under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. The Netperf tool itself is licensed under specific terms by Hewlett-Packard. Please see file LICENSES in the release for the Hewlett-Packard Netperf copyright notices and licensing restrictions. This is the fifth full release of the OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package. This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.E). This release is largely a maintenance release that provides support for more distributions an architectures as well as tracking feature updates on related packages. Major features since the last public release are as follows: - Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16. - Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels. - The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as unpacked by separate tarball. This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs. As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel. This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public License Version 2' as well as the HP license (see LICENSE in the distribution ofro more information.) The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page (http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs, see the netperf package page (http://www.openss7.org/netperf_pkg.html).
