ISOC(1C)

NAME
isoc - minimal ISODE client for testing

SYNOPSIS
isoc host provider entity

DESCRIPTION
The isoc program requests a few minimal ISODE services and is useful primarily for debugging purposes. Currently, several entities can be requested, depending on the provider selected. The echo entities will verify that the data they send is received correctly. The isode/ entities use association control (when applicable) in order to test out these newer facilities.

Further, to measure raw TCP performance, the sink entity can be requested of the raw provider. This option depends on the target system already having a TCP sink server in place. Berkeley UNIX sites usually have such a server.

To summarize:

provider	entity
raw	sink
tsap	echo, sink
ssap	echo, sink
psap	echo, sink,
	isode/echo, isode/sink
rtsap	echo, sink,
	ros_echo, ros_sink,
	“isode/rtse echo”, ”isode/rtse sink”
	isode/ros_echo, isode/ros_sink
rosap	echo, sink,
	isode/echo, isode/sink

Finally, on those hosts with sub-second timing facilities, by redirecting isoc's standard input to a file, raw performance at a given layer can be measured.
