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.
