Performance testing on AIX
I'm doing performance testing for one application which works on AIX.
But I don't know which performance parameters of memory need to be collected. Now, I just know very few:
1. page in
2. page out
3. fre
They are all collected by "vmstat" command.
I want to know, except for above parameters, what else do I need to collected?
Thanks in advance!

Hello all!
I have the need to performance-test a MPLS switch, I was thinking of using iperf to accomplish the task.
I had in mind using a linux box with a Gigabit interface connected to a L2 switch on a 802.1Q trunk. In the interface I would create 20 VLANs with 20 different IP subnets.

TPROF(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TPROF(8)
NAME
tprof -- record tprof profiling samples
SYNOPSIS
tprof [-c] [-o file] command ...
DESCRIPTION
The tprof is a sampling based profiler.
tprof utility makes the kernel driver start profiling, executes the specified command, keeps recording samples from the kernel driver until
the command finishes, and reports statistics to the standard error.
The tprof pseudo driver and a suitable backend should be loaded beforehand.
The tprof utility accepts the following options.
-o file Write the collected samples to the file named file. The default is ``tprof.out''.
-c Write the collected samples to the standard output. Note that the output is a binary stream.
EXAMPLES
The following command profiles the system during 1 second and shows the top-10 kernel functions which likely consumed CPU cycles.
tprof -c sleep 1 2>/dev/null | tpfmt -skCLP | head -10
DIAGNOSTICS
The tprof utility reports the following statistics about the activities of the tprof pseudo driver.
sample The number of samples collected and prepared for userland consumption.
overflow The number of samples dropped because the per-CPU buffer was full.
buf The number of buffers successfully prepared for userland consumption.
emptybuf The number of buffers which have been dropped because they were empty.
dropbuf The number of buffers dropped because the number of buffers kept in the kernel exceeds the limit.
dropbuf_samples The number of samples dropped because the buffers containing the samples were dropped.
SEE ALSO
tpfmt(1), tprof(4)
AUTHORS
The tprof utility is written by YAMAMOTO Takashi.
CAVEATS
The contents and representation of recorded samples are undocumented and will likely be changed for future releases of NetBSD in an incompat-
ible way.
