Description

spflooder is a Spread client program that can flood messages and measure the time required to send a certain number of messages. This can be used to test the performance of Spread and the machines it runs on. By default it trys to connect to a Spread daemon running on port 4803 of the local machine.

Some limitations on message size and number of groups are hardcoded into spflooder. Some changes to the code may be necessary to get maximum performance in large Spread configurations.
