===Intro===
Sockperf is a network benchmarking utility over socket API that was designed for testing performance (latency and throughput) of high-performance systems (it is also good for testing performance of regular networking systems as well). It covers most of the socket API calls and options.

===Installation===
# download the sockperf package at https://sockperf.googlecode.com/files/sockperf-2.5.241.tar.gz
# untar the package and cd into the folder
# execute following command
<syntaxhighlight>
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=<path to install>
$ make
$ make install
</syntaxhighlight>

===Benchmarking==
* server side:
*: <syntaxhighlight> sockperf sr </syntaxhighlight>
*client side:
*: <syntaxhighlight> sockperf pp -i 192.168.1.8 -t 5 -m 12 </syntaxhighlight>
Notes: to decrease the latency, it is often worth pinning CPU and using optimized tools provided by vendors.
