NAME

       flowgrindd - advanced TCP traffic generator for Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X

SYNOPSIS

       flowgrindd [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       flowgrindd  is  the  daemon  for  the advanced TCP traffic generator flowgrind(1). Using the flowgrind(1)
       controller, distributed network performance measurement tests can be set up between an  arbitrary  number
       of hosts running flowgrindd, the flowgrind daemon.

OPTIONS

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -b ADDR
              XML-RPC  server  bind  address.  An  easy way to enable support for IPv6 control-connections is to
              specify the IPv6 wildcard address "::"

       -c #   bound daemon to specific CPU. First CPU is 0

       -d     don't fork into background, increase debugging verbosity. Add option multiple  times  to  increase
              the verbosity

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -p #   XML-RPC server port

       -w DIR target  directory  for  dump  files. Requires compiling flowgrind with libpcap support. The daemon
              must be run as root

       -v, --version
              print version information and exit

AUTHORS

       Flowgrind was original started  by  Daniel  Schaffrath.  The  distributed  measurement  architecture  and
       advanced  traffic  generation were later on added by Tim Kosse and Christian Samsel. Currently, flowgrind
       is developed and maintained Arnd Hannemann and Alexander Zimmermann.
