NAME
       netserver - a network performance benchmark server


SYNOPSIS
       netserver [-4] [-6] [-d] [-h] [-L name,family] [-p portnum] [-v
       verbosity] [-V]


DESCRIPTION
       Netserver listens for connections from a netperf benchmark, and
       responds accordingly.  It can either be run from inetd or as a
       standalone daemon (with the -p flag). If run from inetd the -p option
       should not be used.


   OPTIONS
       -4     Use AF_INET (aka IPv4) addressing for the control and possibly
              data connections.

       -6     Use AF_INET6 (aka IPv6) addressing for the control and possibly
              data connections.

       -d     Increase the quantity of debugging output displayed during a
              test (possibly at the expense of performance).

       -h     Display a usage string, and exit.

       -L name,family
              Set the local name and/or address family for the socket used for
              the control connection.

       -p portnum
              Listen on the specified port.  This is used when running as a
              standalone daemon.

       -v verbosity
              Set the verbosity level for the test.

       -V     Display the netperf version and exit.
