NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     spray - send many packets to host

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] host ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     spray sends multiple RPC packets to  host  and  records  how
many of them
     were correctly received and how long it took.

     The options are as follows:

     -c count
             Send count packets.

     -d delay
             Pause  delay microseconds between sending each packet.

     -l length
             Set the length of the packet that holds the RPC call
message to
             length bytes.  Not all values of length are possible
because RPC
             data is encoded using XDR.  spray rounds up  to  the
nearest possible
 value.

     spray  is  intended for use in network testing, measurement,
and management.
  This command can be very hard on a network and should
be used with
     caution.
