DESCRIPTION

15       Netserver listens for connections from a  netperf  benchmark,  and  re‐
16       sponds accordingly.  It can either be run from inetd or as a standalone
17       daemon (with the -p flag). If run from inetd the -p option  should  not
18       be used.

21   OPTIONS
22       -4     Use  AF_INET  (aka IPv4) addressing for the control and possibly
23              data connections.
24
25       -6     Use AF_INET6 (aka IPv6) addressing for the control and  possibly
26              data connections.
27
28       -d     Increase  the  quantity  of  debugging output displayed during a
29              test (possibly at the expense of performance).
30
31       -h     Display a usage string, and exit.
32
33       -L name,family
34              Set the local name and/or address family for the socket used for
35              the control connection.
36
37       -p portnum
38              Listen  on  the  specified port.  This is used when running as a
39              standalone daemon.

41       -v verbosity
42              Set the verbosity level for the test.
