I'm in the process of setting up a psping job to allow me to test the performance of some new network based applications in my environment.
I'm a little hung up on the -l
argument for specifying the request size. Should I be expressing this as the size of the request per call to my application?
For example I create a 30 megabyte output file which needs to be transferred. Should it be the 30m or the length of an individual (reassembled / fragmented ?) packet?
