Hi Alexey,

Thanks for your explanation.
I mean: UDP itself is the only protocol which don't support listen() so
netstress server using UDP timeouts after some time. The default is 100ms.
But due obvious return before listen() for UDP in server_init() -m parameter
affects behavior of the server in UDP (how quickly it timeouts):

$ date +"%T.%3N"; testcases/network/netstress/netstress -m 1 -T udp; date +"%T.%3N"
15:52:34.501
tst_test.c:1015: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s
netstress.c:917: INFO: max requests '3'

$ date +"%T.%3N"; testcases/network/netstress/netstress -m 1000 -T udp; date +"%T.%3N"

I just wonder if we want to document it (or at least don't state -m as "client only config").

Yes, I left it, thanks!

Yes, this is better.


Kind regards,
