SYNOPSIS

9        idleconn <server> <port> <numidle>

DESCRIPTION

13       idleconn  is  part  of  httperf suite and is useful to simulate a large
14       number of concurrent and idle connections. It can establish  a  set  of
15       persistent  connections,  each  of which generated periodic requests to
16       the server. The effect is that at all times, some  of  the  connections
17       were active while the rest were idle, and these active and idle connec‐
18       tion sets kept changing with time. (This paragraph  was  extracted  and
19       adapted  from  the  article "Scalability of Linux Event-Dispatch Mecha‐
20       nisms" (HPL-2000-174), written  by  Abhishek  Chandra  and  David  Mos‐
21       berger).

32       This is a simple example how to use idleconn:
33
34           $ ./idleconn 192.168.1.1 80 100
35
36       It  would  open and maintain 100 idle connections to a web server, lis‐
37       tening on port 80, using the IP address 192.168.1.1.
