When run, PupBSPTool starts a server listening on Well Known Socket 6. If anybody calls, the server will read and discard all the data offered. When the stream closes, the server will print a summary line if there is a convenient instance of the tool. PupGateways contain a similar server.

Many parameters can be adjusted with the Interpreter. If you are that interested, you should be reading the source code.

Stop: Stops the current test. (Sometimes it takes a wile.)

Push: Starts sending data to the Target machine. This is the basic memory to memory test.

Clump: Sends a Clump of data to the Target machine and then closes the connection. This is a good test to make sure the open/close fine print is working cleanly.

Flush: Sends a sequence of Clumps of data to the Target machine, Flushing the connection after each clump.

RdDisk: Reads ///Foo.

WrDisk: Writes ///Foo. The default size is 16384 pages. Shift and Control can be used to get smaller files. If you want to go really fast, you should make sure that ///Foo is contigious. One way to do this is to Erase your disk, copy ///Foo from another machine, then rebuild your disk. If you go through all that effort, make sure you don't accidentally delete it.

Snarf: Copies ///Foo from the Target machine. (You should have an STPServer running over there.) This is the basic disk to disk test.

Rendez: Test the Rendezvous options of PupStream by sending a clump of data to itself.

Buffer: Test UsafeGetBlock and UnsafePutBlock with counts of more than 64K.
