+The nettest and nettestd commands invoke client and server
+programs that are used for timing data throughput of vari-
+ous  methods  of  interprocess communication.  For TCP and
+OSI connections, the nettest program establishes a connec-
+tion  with  the  nettestd  program, and then it does count
+writes of size bytes, followed  by  count  reads  of  size
+bytes.  For UDP, the nettest program performs only writes;
+reads are not performed.  The nettestd  program,  if  used
+with  UDP connections, reads the data packets and prints a
+message for each data packet it receives.  The number  and
+size  of  the  reads and writes may not correlate with the
+number and size of the actual data packets that are trans-
+ferred; it depends on the protocol that is chosen.  If you
+append an optional k (or K) to the size, count, or bufsize
+value, the number specified is multiplied by 1024.
