netperf 2.3.4 Released

Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Approved for Immediate Release

Jan 8, 2007
OpenSS7 today announced Release 2.3.4 of the OpenSS7-modified netperf package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Jan 8, 2007)   OpenSS7 today announced Release 2.3.4 of the OpenSS7-modified netperf package. 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 (http://www.openss7.org/) 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 for the Hewlett-Packard Netperf copyright notices and licensing restrictions. This is the fourth OpenSS7 Project release of the 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.D).

This release is primarily a maintenance release that provides support for more distributions and architectures as well as tracking feature updates on related packages.

The release provides the following enhancements and fixes:

  • Updates to permit use with strinet-0.9.2.4 second generation UDP driver, strsctp-0.9.2.6 STREAMS SCTP driver, sctp-0.2.24 Sockets SCTP driver.
  • Includes workup of benchmark scripts for SCTP, TCP and UDP. Added a scls_show option to perform scls -c (see scls(1)) to show STREAMS module and driver statistics between test sample points when verbosity is set to 2 and XTI is being used. This assists with performance testing as it shows the counts accumulated to put and service routine throughout the Stream. It was used in UDP2 testing of the strinet package and will come in handy for the SCTP testing.
  • Includes results of performance testing of the new second generation UDP driver (implemented completely in STREAMS instead of using an internal socket).
  • Additional features supported in all packages (see master package release notes).

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 Public License Version 2 as well as the HP license (see LICENSE in the distribution for more information). The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the netperf package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information. Also, see the netperf.pdf manual in the release (also in html here).
