SPRAY(8C)SPRAY(8C)NAMEspray - spray packets
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/spray host [ -c count ] [ -d delay ] [ -i ] [ -l length ] host
DESCRIPTIONspray sends a one-way stream of packets to host using RPC, and reports
how many were received, as well as the the transfer rate. The host
argument can be either a name or an internet address.
OPTIONS-c count
Specify 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
Specify 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)
