SYNOPSISvarnetload [-d delay] [-t time to run] [-u url]
DESCRIPTIONvarnetload is a simple python script to create reproducable sustained

in your local LAN where you can put files. Upload a large HTML (or any
other kind of file) to the HTTP server. Use the -u option of the script
to point to that URL. Play with the delay option to vary the load put
on your network.
delay Sets delay between individual downloads in miliseconds. Default
value is 1000. But you my find values range from 0 to 500 more
useful.
time to run
Sets total run time in seconds. Default value is 60.
url Sets downloaded resource. Default is http://myhost.mydo‐
main/index.html.
