The other parts are host programs <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source</TT > and <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink</TT >. To make these (under LINUX) cd to the tests source directory in the eCos repository and type “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >make -f make.linux</TT >” - this should build <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source</TT > and <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink</TT >.</P ><P >The LINUX program “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source</TT >” sends data to the target. On the target, “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_echo</TT >” sends it onwards to “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink</TT >” running on LINUX. So the target must receive and send on all the data that <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source</TT > sends it; the time taken for this is measured and the data rate is calculated.</P ><P >To invoke the test, first start <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_echo</TT > on the target board and wait for it to become quiescent - it will report work to calibrate a CPU load which can be used to simulate real operating conditions for the stack.</P ><P >Then on your LINUX machine, in one terminal window, invoke <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink</TT > giving it the IP address (or hostname) of one interface of the target board. For example “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink 10.130.39.66</TT >”. <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_echo</TT > on the target will print something like “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SINK connection from 10.130.39.13:1143</TT >” when <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink</TT > is correctly invoked.</P ><P >Next, in another LINUX terminal window, invoke <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source</TT >, giving it the IP address (or hostname) of an interface of the target board, and optionally a background load to apply to the target while the test runs. For example, “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source 194.130.39.66</TT >” to run the test with no additional target CPU load, or “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source 194.130.39.66 85</TT >” to load it up to 85% used. The target load must be a multiple of 5. <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_echo</TT > on the target will print something like “<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SOURCE connection from 194.130.39.13:1144</TT >” when tcp_source is correctly invoked.</P ><P >You can connect tcp_sink to one target interface and tcp_source to another, or both to the same interface. Similarly, you can run <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_sink</TT > and <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >tcp_source</TT > on the same LINUX machine or different ones. TCP/IP and ARP look after them finding one another, as intended.</P ><TABLE BORDER="5" BGCOLOR="#E0E0F0" WIDTH="70%" ><TR ><TD ><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" ><SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >nc_test_master</I ></SPAN > - network characterization master <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >nc_test_slave</I ></SPAN > - network characterization slave</PRE ></TD ></TR ></TABLE ><P >These tests talk to each other to measure network performance.
