NAME
     spflooder - Spread Performance Test Client

SYNOPSIS
     spflooder	[-u  connection_name]  [-s spread_address] [-m num_messages] [-b
     bytes_per_message] [-ro] [-wo]

DESCRIPTION
     spflooder is a Spread client program that can flood  messages  and  measure
     the time required to send a certain number of messages. This can be used to
     test  the performance of Spread and the machines it runs on.  By default it
     trys to connect to a Spread daemon running on port 4803 of  the  local  ma-
     chine.

OPTIONS
     -u connection_name
	    The name this connection to the daemon will use to uniquely identify
	    itself.

     -s spread address
	    The port number, or port number and host to which the spuser program
	    should connect in order to reach a Spread daemon.

     -m num messages
	    The number of messages to flood.

     -b num bytes
	    The size of each message to send in bytes.

     -ro    This flooder process will only receive messages sent by other flood-
	    ers. It will not send any messages.

     -wo    This  flooder  process will only send messages to other flooders. It
	    will not receive any messages.

BUGS
     Some limitations on message size and number of groups  are  hardcoded  into
     spflooder.   Some	changes to the code may be necessary to get maximum per-
     formance in large Spread configuarations.
