- Answers to frequently asked questions about rperf
-
- 1) Could rperf report additional kernel statistics?
-
- It could be done. rperf queries rpc.rstatd, the network kernel
- statistics daemon. Currently, rpc.rstatd reports the statistics listed
- in /usr/rpcsvc/rstat.x. You could extend rstat.x and then modify
- rpc.rstatd and rperf
-
- 2) Can rperf broadcast on just one network interface?
-
- Not easily. The rperf broadcast mode uses the clnt_broadcast() routine
- in the RPC library. clnt_broadcast() does not broadcast on a single
- interface. To confine the broadcast to a single network, run rperf
- from a host other than the gateway.
