DESCRIPTION
The
spray utility sends multiple RPC packets to
host and records how many of them were correctly received and how long it took.
The options are as follows:
-
-c
count
-
Send
count packets.
-
-d
delay
-
Pause
delay microseconds between sending each packet.
-
-l
length
-
Set the length of the packet that holds the RPC call message to
length bytes. Not all values of
length are possible because RPC data is encoded using XDR. The
spray utility rounds up to the nearest possible value.
The spray utility is intended for use in network testing, measurement, and management. This command can be very hard on a network and should be used with caution.
