In main terms this page contains the following attributes:
In the last section some short remarks are made about the measurement procedure.
This page requires minimal Netscape 4, Internet Explorer 4 or HotJava 3.
The top control frame can be used to select the desired net test data. It is placed above all tables. The functionality of the control frame is for all tables more or less comparable. See also the help page for more information. In this page the procedure is also discussed for loading the net test data from the Web server.
In the bottom table frame, the table with load values is shown. Going from above to below the following attributes are found:
The load measurements are performed with the standard Unix program
uptime
. It delivers the load values for the past 1, 4 and
15 minutes. The mean of these three values is calculated.
