Application Performance Analysis

Latency Across Networks

Visualize traffic flowing through client, network, server, and storage elements.


Making Client / Network / Server Pie

I find that drawing the client-network-server pie can help focus my attention during application performance analysis. Tasting Client / Network / Server Pie is a shorter version, published in February 2012 ;login.

Send-UDP-Msg is a Perl script for sending custom text in a UDP frame, useful for annotating trace files. Under Windows, fping includes the '-d {message}' switch for this purpose, but the Linux version does not, so I wrote my own.

host> send-udp-msg -h server.company.com -m "Starting NFS mount now"


Server Benching

Nostalgia: My first performance analysis paper, 1993, written in conjunction with my boss and mentor Dr. Stephen M. Erde, benching a beta version of AppleShare 4.0 against Netware 3.11.
