[netperf-talk] Using netperf4

Hi all,

I just joined the group and hope this has not been asked before, otherwise
kindly redirect me ...

I am having problems when running netperf4.

1. On the server, netperf4 -L <local IP address> fails with :
      establish_listen: could not resolve host '10.1.1.41' service netperf4
    I tried with -p & --L, and now it works. But I am not sure if giving -p
will work
    correctly for multi-stream netperf connections.

2. On client, how do I run ? How do I specify the server ? Do I need to
specify the port ?
    I tried netperf -c default_config.xml -i default_tcp_stream.xml, but it
failed with
      "establish_control: could not resolve remote 'localhost' port
'netperf4' af 2" (again,
    it seems to require a port number to be provided).

3. How can I run 10 simultaneous threads ?

Can someone also provide their scripts, etc, which will show me how to use
netperf4 ?
Any help is really appreciated.

thanks,

- KK
