# The benchmarks/netperf-wrapper port

## netperf-wrapper-0.5.6 – test network latency under load via netperf

## Description

    Python wrapper to run multiple simultaneous netperf/iperf/ping instances
    and aggregate the results.

    Several commands can be run in parallel and, provided they output
    timestamped values, the test data points can be aligned with each other
    in time, interpolating differences between the actual measurement points.
    This makes it possible to graph (e.g.) ping times before, during and
    after a link is loaded.

    Aggregated data can be saved in a json format, output as csv values,
    emacs org mode tables or, if py-matplotlib is installed, plots.
    Each test can specify several different plots, including time-series
    plots of the values against each other, as well as CDF plots of
    (e.g.) ping times.

    Examples (see homepage or netperf-wrapper -h for more):

    1. netperf-wrapper -H somehost ping -f plot

    2. ssh somehost netserver &
    netperf-wrapper -H somehost rrul
    netperf-wrapper -i rrul-*.json.gz -f plot
