[ofa-general] desired netperf mods?

Thu Apr 12 14:07:41 PDT 2007

Rick,

SDP is easy to get with netperf by running "LD_PRELOAD=libsdp.so
netperf/neterver", so in my opinion SDP is already covered.

Here's a list of things I'd like to see from netperf, in priority order:

1) IP multicast
2) Test that uses multiple concurrent sockets at the same time
3) RDS

I hadn't thought about netperf and uDAPL before, but certainly there
would be value in adding uDAPL, MPI, and even filesystem benchmarks.
