LAT_CONNECT(8) LMBENCH LAT_CONNECT(8)NAMElat_connect - measure interprocess connection latency via TCP/IP
SYNOPSISlat_connect-s
lat_connect [ -P <parallelism> ] [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ]
hostname
lat_connect-S hostname
DESCRIPTIONlat_connect is a client/server program that measures interprocess con‐
nection latencies. The benchmark times the creation and connection of
an AF_INET (aka TCP/IP) socket to a remote server. Care is take that
the connection time does not include any other overhead, such as the
gethostbyname() or remote port lookups since these add more overhead
than the connection establishment itself.
lat_connect has three forms of usage: as a server (-s), as a client
(lat_connect localhost), and as a shutdown (lat_connect -S localhost).
OUTPUT
The reported time is in microseconds per connection. Output format is
like so
TCP/IP connection cost to localhost: 1006 microseconds
