It's a simulated web client and web server, running inside the kernel. It's good for load-testing and performance-testing many kinds of network devices. With two 1-GHz PIII boxes (one acting as the client and the other acting as the server) it can generate around 50000 (actually I think it's more than that) full web sessions per second. Also, you can dial in any rate you want, and it will generate that rate very precisely. Lots of fun! John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
