Hello. I'm Tatsuhiko from Japan.
I have begun to use netperf to benchmark tcp throughput
over Myrinet.

I have some question about netperf command and
how to use.

1.Can I set the send/recv buffer size over 250kbytes?

2.Does 'Send Message Size' mean 'one packet size'?

3.Can I benchmark server tcp throughput such as below
topology?
Ethernet +----------+
+----------+ Client +
| +----------+
|
|
+++++++++++ | Myrinet +----------+
+ Server + ----+----------+ Client +
+++++++++++ +----------+

I would like to say that 'Can I benchmark above topology that
Server send to multiple client over different physical layer?'

Please teach me.

P.S I'm sorry for my poor English.
