NAME

       idleconn - tool for opening any number of idle connections

SYNOPSIS

        idleconn <server> <port> <numidle>

DESCRIPTION

       idleconn  is  part of httperf suite and is useful to simulate a large number of concurrent
       and idle connections. It can establish a set of  persistent  connections,  each  of  which
       generated  periodic  requests  to the server. The effect is that at all times, some of the
       connections were active while the rest were idle, and these  active  and  idle  connection
       sets  kept  changing with time. (This paragraph was extracted and adapted from the article
       "Scalability of Linux  Event-Dispatch  Mechanisms"  (HPL-2000-174),  written  by  Abhishek
       Chandra and David Mosberger).

OPTIONS

       server IP of the server to connect.

       port   Port used by server.

       numidle
              Number of idle process to be generated.

EXAMPLE

       This is a simple example how to use idleconn:

           $ ./idleconn 192.168.1.1 80 100

       It  would  open  and  maintain 100 idle connections to a web server, listening on port 80,
       using the IP address 192.168.1.1.
