varnetload(8)	  Tool to create reproducable network traffic	 varnetload(8)

NAME
       varnetload - tool to create reproducable network traffic

SYNOPSIS
       varnetload [-d delay] [-t time to run] [-u url]

DESCRIPTION
       varnetload  is  a simple python script to create reproducable sustained
       network traffic.

       In order to use it effectively, you need to have an HTTP server present
       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.
