Hi All,

More of a curiosity than anything else but has anyone come up with any sort of xxmbps/client for an average amount of network traffic from a client to server as well as a average for a proxy to another server (ours uses between 2-10mbps (usually 2) for approx 150 clients).

Reason I'm asking is to show off hobbit to the phbs so just wondering if there was any "hard numbers"

Thanks, Jason.

I got asked similar question about hobbit client. Can we come up with a metric tool to measure how costly hb client using
resources ?

On a completely idle system, run vmstat with 1 second display updates while the client is active. But my guess is that you won't see anything at all - the client really uses very few ressources (it's only a few simple OS commands).

Anyone out there have a compiled SCO client? Im looking for a version that would run on 5.0.4, 5.0.5, 5.0.6

Hi,

I have one, built on 5.0.5 iirc.

Thanks, installed and working. Did you make any modifications to get the memory to report correctly?

My memory isnt reporting correctly, here is the info sent from the client to the hobbit server.

So Im guessing something on the Hobbit server side isnt set right for SCO

[memsize] [freemem] Average 22814 860000 28216 130372 [swap] path dev swaplo blocks free /dev/swap 1,41 0 860000 860000

Thanks again for the client Trent

It is available on : http://charles.goyard.free.fr/hobbit/, along with a small install script.

It seems you lack /etc/memsize. I just put it for you on the same web site (http://charles.goyard.free.fr/hobbit/)

Here are the modes : -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin memsize

Thanks

I'm somehow surprised someone else still has SCO :)

Its old technology but it still works and does what we need it to, we use it for our Dialogic and Brooktrout cards...the code that manages the cards for dialing and recordings was written for SCO and nobody wants to spend the time and try and port it over to Linux.

Ignore my last post, I think I found it.

In hobbitd/rrd/do_netstat.c

I think these 2 should be reversed - see below "^[\t ]*([0-9]+) data packets \\(([0-9]+) bytes\\)$", "^[\t ]*([0-9]+) data packets \\(([0-9]+) bytes\\) retransmitted

That way they match the correct pickdata subroutine.

do_netstat.c lines 88-95

          case AT_TCP:

if (pickdata(datapart, pcreset[0], 0, &tcpretranspackets, &tcpretransbytes)|| pickdata(datapart, pcreset[1], 0, &tcpoutdatapackets, &tcpoutdatabytes) || pickdata(datapart, pcreset[2], 0, &tcpinorderpackets, &tcpinorderbytes) || pickdata(datapart, pcreset[3], 0, &tcpoutorderpackets, &tcpoutorderbytes) || pickdata(datapart, pcreset[4], 0, &tcpconnrequests) || pickdata(datapart, pcreset[5], 0, &tcpconnaccepts)) havedata++; break;
