netstress-1.2.0                                    06 Jun 2015                                      netstress(1)

       Client/server  utility designed to stress & benchmark network activity of a given ethernet device or path
       using simulated (random) real world data and packet sizes instead of fixed data and packet sizes.

       Easily command line usage with random packets sizes and random data for read,  write,  or  read  &  write
       (default) testing and reporting benchmark results from the ethernet device.
