Summary : Network benchmarking utility for testing latency and throughput
URL : https://github.com/Mellanox/sockperf
License : BSD
Description : sockperf is a network benchmarking utility over socket API that was designed
: for testing performance (latency and throughput) of high-performance systems
: (it is also good for testing performance of regular networking systems as
: well). It covers most of the socket API calls and options.
:
: Specifically, in addition to the standard throughput tests, sockperf, does the
: following:
:
: * Measure latency of each discrete packet at sub-nanosecond resolution (using
: TSC register that counts CPU ticks with very low overhead).
:
: * Does the above for both ping-pong mode and for latency under load mode. This
: means that we measure latency of single packets even under load of millions
: Packets Per Second (without waiting for reply of packet before sending
: subsequent packet on time)
:
: * Enable spike analysis by providing histogram, with various percentiles of the
: packets’ latencies (for example: median, min, max, 99% percentile, and more),
: (this is in addition to average and standard deviation). Also, sockperf
: provides full log with all packet’s tx/rx times that can be further analyzed
: with external tools, such as MS-Excel or matplotlib - All this without
: affecting the benchmark itself.
:
: * Support MANY optional settings for good coverage of socket API and network
: configurations, while still keeping very low overhead in the fast path to
: allow cleanest results.
