RPC.SPRAYD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     RPC.SPRAYD(8)

NAME

     rpc.sprayd, sprayd -- spray server

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/libexec/rpc.sprayd

DESCRIPTION

     rpc.sprayd is a server which records packets sent by the spray(8) command and sends a traffic report to the originator of the packets.  The
     rpc.sprayd daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).

     rpc.sprayd uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/spray.x.

SEE ALSO

     spray(8)

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

     As rpc.sprayd responds to packets generated by spray(8), remote users can cause a denial of network service against the local host by satu-
     rating requests to rpc.sprayd.

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).
