The default is SOCK_STREAM. =item B<--protocol, -p> (TCP|SCTP) Select TCP or SCTP transport protocol. The default is TCP. Note that TCP cannot be used together with the SEQPACK service. =item B<--config_file, -c> filename Read configuration parameters from the nominated file. By default, parameters are read from C in the current directory. =back =head1 DESCRIPTION This directory contains performance tests for measuring round-trip latency statistics of ACE synchronous messaging using unmarshalled ACE_CDR::Octet. The SOCK_STREAM performance test comprises SOCK_STREAM_clt on the client side and SOCK_STREAM_srv on the server side. The SOCK_SEQPACK performance test comprises SOCK_SEQPACK_clt on the client side and SOCK_SEQPACK_srv on the server side. People who are interested in round-trip latency often want to see a I of statistics for a range of payload sizes. The job of this script, B, is to run the client-side performance-test program repeatedly, so as to generate a spectrum of statistics. The script supports two types of services (SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACK) and two protocols (TCP and UDP). All combinations are valid except TCP over SOCK_SEQPACK. Please see L<"OPTIONS"> for information about the command-line options that specify the service and the protocol. By default, B will execute SOCK_STREAM_clt (or SOCK_SEQPACK_clt) with a minimal set of command-line options. You can specify additional options in an external configuration file. By default, the configuration file is called C. You may name an alternate configuration file using the B<--config_file> option. The configuration file should contain the options that you would ordinarly give to SOCK_STREAM_clt or SOCK_SEQPACK_clt on the command line. To see the command-line options available for these programs, please run C or C. Note that the options B<-s> and B<-t> are used by this script when it launches the client. An occurrence of either of these options in the configuration file will be ignored as redundant. The client is executed 15 times: once for each payload size from 2^2 bytes to 2^16 bytes. (SCTP tests only go up to 2^15 bytes because of limitations in our SCTP implementation.) Histograms summarizing the round-trip latency performance are dumped to a file called C where C is the current time in hyphen-delimited form. =head1 EXAMPLES B: Run a spectrum of TCP performance tests using SOCK_STREAM with both endpoints on the local machine. Each test in the spectrum should have 10,000 data points. =over 4 =item 1. Start the SOCK_STREAM server on the local machine with the S> option: % ./SOCK_STREAM_srv -t tcp =item 2. Configure the client to run 10,000 individual trials: % echo '"-c 10000"' > run_spectrum.config =item 3. Execute B: % ./run_spectrum.pl (The script uses TCP and SOCK_STREAM by default.) =back B: Run a spectrum of SCTP performance tests using SOCK_SEQPACK with one endpoint on the local machine and one endpoint on a remote machine that happens to be named oneida. Each test in the spectrum should have 50,000 data points. =over 4 =item 1. On the remote host oneida, start the SOCK_SEQPACK server: % ./SOCK_SEQPACK_srv =item 2. On the local host, configure the client to run 50,000 individual trials and to look for the server on oneida: % echo '"-c 50000 -H oneida"' > run_spectrum.config =item 3.
