GURU4HP: NETIO network throughput benchmark

ETIO - Network Benchmark, Version 1.31

Download version 1.31 HERE

This is a network benchmark for OS/2 2.x, Windows, Linux and Unix.

It measures the net throughput of a network via TCP and UDP

protocols using various different packet sizes.

One instance has to run on one machine as a server process, another

instance is used on another machine to perform the benchmark. When

executed without arguments, the program will explain its usage.

Full source code is included. For compilation, IBM C/C++ for OS/2

or gcc (mingw) for Windows is required, gcc can be used under Unix.

Starting with version 1.20, multi threading support is required.

Under Unix this has to be pthreads (tested with Linux). Therefore,

DOS is no longer supported beginning with version 1.20.

A few executable files are included. The author can only build for OS/2,

Windows, Linux and AIX. The other executable files (if any) are

contributions from other people who ported the benchmark to their

platform. However, those executables may be out of date now (based

on earlier versions). Especially, executables of version 1.16 and

newer will not communicate with versions below 1.16.

This program/these programs can be used freely for private or

educational purposes. If you want to use them for commercial purposes,

please contact the author. You may redistribute this software only if

all files from my original distribution are included unchanged. You may

only add readable documentation files, such as a BBS signature, and only

if they are marked prominently as additions. If you want to include any

part of the orignal distribution with other software, please contact the

author before.

There is no warranty. Use this software on your own risk. Due to the

complexity and variety of today's hardware and software which may be

used to run these programs, I am not responsible for any damage or loss

of data or hardware failures or other damage caused by correct or

incorrect use of this software. It was tested very well and is expected

to work correctly, but nobody can actually guarantee this under any

circumstances. And because this software is essentially free (even if

you register, you don't pay for using this software but for the service

of getting upgrades), you get what you pay for ...
