To build on a new OS, simply edit the Makefile to reflect your
compilers and options.
Everything currently builds on Linux-2.1/2.2, Solaris-2.5.1/2.6, HPUX-11
IRIX-6.5, AIX-4.2, OSF1-4.0 and NT-4. Operating systems without
POSIX threads (or NT threads) will be limited.
NT uses ../autobuild.bat, *.dsw, and *.mak.
Perl is imported from a common build area.
Notes on protocol plug in API:
Fundamental data structures:
event_timer_t
Holds the critical results information. This gets added up
over all the block in all the threads periodically during the test.
cmd_stats_t
This holds all the dynamic information including event timers,
and state for sequencing the command block (like next login).
mail_command_t
This hold all the read only information about a command block.
thread_context_t
All the information about each thread. There is one thread
per server connection.
range_t
Integer range based on a starting number and a length. This
can be sequentially or randomly returned. This needs to be adjusted
for each command thread.
protocol_t
This defines the callbacks and shared information for each protocol.
Adding a new protocol:
Create all the handler functions. Look at smtp.c for an example
Add the entry to g_protocols in main.c
Add it to the makefiles
Design issues:
Timing accuracy
Scalability (current limit is 26000 clients/machine)
Extendibility
Memory use (limits scalability)
Result data efficiency
