.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBrpc.sprayd\fR is a server that records the packets sent by \fBspray\fR(1M). The \fBrpc.sprayd\fR daemon may be started by \fBinetd\fR(1M).
.sp
.LP
The service provided by \fBrpc.sprayd\fR is not useful as a networking benchmark as it uses unreliable connectionless transports, (udp for example). 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).
