ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for measuring multi-connection performance of a network interface card (NIC) within a server. During operation, a client establishes a connection to a receiver within the server. Next, the client remains in a wait state until a multicast message is received from a control computer. Upon receiving this multicast message, the client starts sending data to and receiving data from the receiver within the server. Note that the control computer waits until every client that is to communicate with the server has established a connection to the server before sending the multicast message. In this way, the system ensures that all client and server computer systems begin sending and receiving data simultaneously, thereby allowing the system to more accurately measure multi-connection performance.
