The Iperf tool [1] can be used to evaluate RTEMS networking stack performance. Iperf works by instantiating an Iperf server on machine 1 and connecting from an Iperf client on machine 2, which will send data as fast as possible to the server. By first measuring the receive bandwidth of machine 1 (server) when machine 1 and machine 2 run Linux, the receive bandwidth of machine 1 when machine 1 runs Linux and machine 2 runs RTEMS can be used to evaluate the performance of the RTEMS networking stack.
This might be an interesting project to try to get working (with a lab setup). Minix/NewtOS used it to evaluate the performance of their networking stack as described in https://www.google.com/search?q=keep+net+working+on+a+dependable+and+fast+networking+stack -Gedare [1] http://code.google.com/p/iperf/ _______________________________________________ rtems-devel mailing list rtems-devel@rtems.org http://www.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/rtems-devel
