This is a brief readme file for the netperf tcp/udp/sockets
performance benchmark. This is here mostly as a boot-strap. The real
information is in the manual, which can be found in netperf.ps(.Z).

There is a COPYRIGHT file included. It is based on what the HP Legal
Eagles gave me. I am not sure if the legalese is clear, but the intent
is to say "Here is a benchmark. Use it in good health. Pass it along,
port it, enhance it, don't sell it. You didn't pay for this tool, so
don't expect it to be perfect ;-)" The rest of it is there to keep the
layers happy...

Feel free to report results in public forums such as the netperf
database at http://www.cup.hp.com/netperf/NetperfPage.html, but please
be excruciatingly complete in your description of the test
envorinment.

If you run into severe difficulties, or are just feeling chatty,
please feel free to drop some email to me - Rick Jones
<raj@cup.hp.com>. Be sure to include a meaningful subject line.

happy benchmarking, 
rick jones
