Package netperf-2.3.6 was released 2007-06-24.
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 (or the same) 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 sixth 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.F).
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 build on openSUSE 10.2.
- Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel.
- Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
- Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
- Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
- Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
- Support for recent distributions and tool chains.
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>.
See <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/netperf-2.3.6/ChangeLog> and

for more information. Also, see the `netperf.pdf' manual in the
release, also in html <http://www.openss7.org/netperf_manual.html>.
