Netperf是一种网络性能的测量工具，主要针对基于TCP或UDP的传输。Netperf根据应用的不同，可以进行不同模式的网络性能测试，即批量数据传输（bulk data transfer）模式和请求/应答（request/reponse）模式。
工作原理
Netperf工具以client/server方式工作。server端是netserver,用来侦听来自client端的连接,client端是netperf,用来向server发起网络测试.在client与server之间,首先建立一个控制连接,传递有关测试配置的信息,以及测试的结果:在控制连接建立并传递了测试配置信息以后，client与server之间会再建立一个测试连接,进行来回传递特殊的流量模式,以测试网络的性能

[root@xiesshavip001 ~]# yum install gcc cc -y- 解压安装

[root@xiesshavip001 netperf-2.7.0]# make && make install命令参数介绍
命令行参数包括如下选项：
-H host ：指定远端运行netserver的server IP地址。
-l testlen：指定测试的时间长度（秒）
-t testname：指定进行的测试类型，包括TCP_STREAM，UDP_STREAM，TCP_RR，TCP_CRR，UDP_RR
-s size 设置本地系统的socket发送与接收缓冲大小
-S size 设置远端系统的socket发送与接收缓冲大小
-m size 设置本地系统发送测试分组的大小
-M size 设置远端系统接收测试分组的大小
-D 对本地与远端系统的socket设置TCP_NODELAY选项netperf 网络测试
- TCP_STREAM Netperf缺省情况下进行TCP批量传输,即-t TCP_STREAM。测试过程中,netperf向netserver发送批量的TCP数据分组,以确定数据传输过程中的吞吐量：

[root@xiesshavip001 ~]#- UDP_STREAM UDP_STREAM用来测试进行UDP批量传输时的网络性能。注意:此时测试分组的大小不得大于socket的发送与接收缓冲大小，否则netperf会报出错提示：

For those options taking two parms, at least one must be specified;
specifying one value without a comma will set both parms to that
value, specifying a value with a leading comma will set just the second
parm, a value with a trailing comma will set just the first. To set
each parm to unique values, specify both and separate them with a
comma.
* For these options taking two parms, specifying one value with no comma
will only set the first parms and will leave the second at the default
value. To set the second value it must be preceded with a comma or be a
comma-separated pair. This is to retain previous netperf behaviour.
