- NetManage has released free of charge, Socket Wrencher, a new
- Windows TCP/IP stress testing tool. Pre-release copies of
- Socket Wrencher were provided last week to the participants of
- the "WinSock Bake-Off" held at Microsoft. Socket Wrencher is
- being released by NetManage for free distribution and will be
- widely available for performance and stress testing new Windows
- TCP/IP implementations.
-
- Availability
- Socket Wrencher is available free from NetManage via anonymous
- FTP at ftp.uu.net in the /vendor/NetManage directory. The file
- is a self extracting zip file called socketw.exe.
-
- About Socket Wrencher
- Socket Wrencher is a WinSock application that provides more than
- two dozen different measures of protocol stack performance and
- compatibility. Socket Wrencher tests a protocol stack
- independent of any particular application such as FTP, Telnet or
- NFS, giving a clearer picture of how well the stack performs in a
- variety of environments. Performance is tested over TCP and UDP
- in both synchronous and asynchronous operation and in both a send
- only and echo mode. All tests are run with block sizes ranging
- from 1K to 16K bytes. In addition to performance, Socket
- Wrencher provides a set of tests that characterize various
- operating parameters of a WinSock based protocol stack such as
- the maximum number of sockets that are available.
-
- NetManage's intention is to help customers get a clearer picture
- of stack performance. Stack performance is highly dependent on
- the test environment and our intention is to make the test
- methodology less subjective by providing an easy to use standard
- tool.
