[netperf-talk] exact behaviour of generated burst traffic

[Kristijan Dragicevic]

Hello,

I am trying to generate bursty traffic with a command like
netperf -t UDP_STREAM -H 10.0.2.2 -l 10 -- -m 228 -w 100 -b 1024
but I do not see a difference to the behaviour of using command
netperf -t UDP_STREAM -H 10.0.2.2 -l 10 -- -m 228
no matter what parameters I use for the -w and -b option

I browsed the whole web to find some kind of specification for these options.
Browsing the code just lets me know, that the packet size of the burst packets seem to be the same as the packet size of the ordinary emitted packets.
So my question is:
What happens during the burst intervals compared to the time between the intervals? Are there different packets sent out or in another rate?
Well, I know that -w specifies the interval in ms, and -b specifies the amount of packets to be emitted. But as far as I can see it just looks like netperf is emitting packets "like there is know tomorrow" all the time.

Thx for help.

Best regards,
Kristijan
