It | +| | supports Unix domain sockets, TCP, SCTP, DLPI and UDP via | +| | BSD Sockets. Netperf provides a number of predefined tests | +| | e.g. to measure bulk (unidirectional) data transfer or | +| | request response performance. | +| | (netperf is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence | +| | it needs to be installed.) | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|references | netperf Man pages | +| | ETSI-NFV-TST001 | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|applicability | Test can be configured with different packet sizes and | +| | test duration.
