I've been further enhancing the netperf omni tests to enable reporting
stuff like uname for local/remote, the name of the probable egress
interface (rtnetlink), and then driver information for that interface.
I figure that such information being spat-out by netperf might be useful
to have if one were setting-up a database of results and/or making
regression checks and the like.
It struck me as a little odd that I can retrieve routing information for
a destination as a mere mortal, but to retreive driver information for
an interface I have to be priviledged. At first glance I would think
the sensitivity of both sets of information would be about the same?
Is the difference simply an artifact of history?
sincerely,
rick jones
