NAME
 idleconn - tool for opening any number of idle connections

SYNOPSIS
 idleconn <server> <port> <numidle>

DESCRIPTION
 idleconn is part of httperf suite and is useful to simulate a large number
 of concurrent and idle connections. It can establish a set of persistent
 connections, each of which generated periodic requests to the server. The
 effect is that at all times, some of the connections were active while the
 rest were idle, and these active and idle connection sets kept changing with
 time. (This paragraph was extracted and adapted from the article "Scalability
 of Linux Event-Dispatch Mechanisms" (HPL-2000-174), written by Abhishek
 Chandra and David Mosberger).

OPTIONS
 server   IP of the server to connect.
 port     Port used by server.
 numidle  Number of idle process to be generated.

EXAMPLE
 This is a simple example how to use idleconn:

    $ ./idleconn 192.168.1.1 80 100

 It would open and maintain 100 idle connections to a web server, listening on
 port 80, using the IP address 192.168.1.1.
