SYNOPSISspflooder [-u connection_name] [-s spread_address] [-m num_messages]
[-b bytes_per_message] [-ro] [-wo]
DESCRIPTIONspflooder is a Spread client program that can flood messages and mea‐
sure the time required to send a certain number of messages. This can
be used to test the performance of Spread and the machines it runs on.
By default it trys to connect to a Spread daemon running on port 4803
of the local machine.
OPTIONS-u connection_name
The name this connection to the daemon will use to uniquely
identify itself.
-s spread address
The port number, or port number and host to which the spuser
program should connect in order to reach a Spread daemon.
-m num messages
The number of messages to flood.
-b num bytes
The size of each message to send in bytes.
-ro This flooder process will only receive messages sent by other
flooders. It will not send any messages.
-wo This flooder process will only send messages to other flooders.
It will not receive any messages.
BUGS
Some limitations on message size and number of groups are hardcoded
into spflooder. Some changes to the code may be necessary to get maxi‐
mum performance in large Spread configuarations.
