NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     spray - spray packets

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/etc/spray host [ -c count ] [	-d delay ] [ -i	] [ -l length ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     spray sends a one-way stream of packets to	host using RPC,	and then
     reports how many were received by host and	what the transfer rate was.
     The hostname can be either	a name or an Internet address.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     -c	count	 Specifies how many packets to send.  The default value	of
		 count is the numbers of packets required to make the total
		 stream	size 100000 bytes.

     -d	delay	 Specifies how may microseconds	to pause between sending each
		 packet.  The default is 0.

     -i		 Use ICMP echo packets rather than RPC.	 Since ICMP
		 automatically echos, this creates a two way stream.

     -l	length	 The length parameter is the numbers of	bytes in the ethernet
		 packet	that holds the RPC call	message.  Since	the data is
		 encoded using XDR, and	XDR only deals with 32 bit quantities,
		 not all values	of length are possible,	and spray rounds up to
		 the nearest possible value.  When length is greater than
		 1514, then the	RPC call can no	longer be encapsulated in one
		 Ethernet packet, so the length	field no longer	has a simple
		 correspondence	to Ethernet packet size.  The default value of
		 length	is 86 bytes (the size of the RPC and UDP headers)
