MakeTrace Overview

(last revised 1 June, 2006)

MakeTrace is derived from adsend for trace data load testing. It's purpose is to execute a test: To have one machine producing trace_buf's, and broadcasting them onto a dedicated wire. To have two machines listening: one running WaveServer, the other an export. To then crank up the rate of trace_buf's until something breaks.

We presume that an adsend configuration file would be a starting point for the MakeTrace config file.

Usage: maketrace <name of configuration file>
