NAME

       rpc.sprayd, sprayd - spray server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/netsvc/spray/rpc.sprayd

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.sprayd is a server that records the packets sent by spray(1M). The rpc.sprayd daemon may be started by inetd(1M) or listen(1M).

       The  service provided by rpc.sprayd is not useful as a networking benchmark as it uses unreliable connectionless transports, (udp for exam-
       ple). It can report a large number of packets dropped when the drops were caused by the program sending packets faster  than  they  can	be
       buffered locally (before the packets get to the network medium).
