SYNOPSIS

9       varnetload [-d delay] [-t time to run] [-u url]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       varnetload  is  a simple python script to create reproducible sustained
13       network traffic.
14
15       In order to use it effectively, you need to have an HTTP server present
16       in  your local LAN where you can put files. Upload a large HTML (or any
17       other kind of file) to the HTTP server. Use the -u option of the script
18       to  point  to that URL. Play with the delay option to vary the load put
19       on your network.

22       delay  Sets delay between individual downloads in milliseconds. Default

24              useful.
