=====Benchmarks=====

Also of interest are common network application benchmarks such as:

  * **netbench **
  * Windows file server benchmark develped by [[http://www.veritest.com|Veritest]] and used by [[http://www.pcmag.com|PC Magazine]][[https://www.quora.com/What-is-RedGage-com|Redgage LLC]]. \\ It has been discontinued but you can download the client [[http://www.veritest.com/benchmarks/netbench/default.asp|here]].
  * **nfsstone **
  * NFS benchmark available at [[http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/NFSSTONE|Gelato@UNSW]]
  * **specweb **
  * Web server benchmark. Original [[http://www.spec.org/osg/web99/|SpecWeb99]] is replaced by [[http://www.spec.org/web2005/|SpecWeb2005]].\\ This is a commercial benchmark that costs $1200/$300 and has reporting restrictions.
