    109 In this exercise, we will make use of a transparent !NetLogger wrapper than can intercept standard socket calls in existing applications.  This includes read()/write() and send()/recv().  When using the wrapper, you can specify an output file where the log messages are stored as well as the summary interval.  The wrapper uses a version of !NetLogger called !NL-Calipers, which calculates and stores in-memory summary statistics over each event encountered.  The NL_INTERVAL variable determines how frequently those summary statistics are reported and the counters reset.

    111 The !NetLogger probe instructions above can be used to let BLiPP push the collected !NL-Calipers measurements into the measurement store (MS) for graphing and archiving as we did in the previous exercise.  We will use 'iperf' as our test application to instrument with the wrapper library.  The iperf program should already be installed on the GEMINI intrumentized node.  If not, you can 'yum install iperf' or select another application to test with.  The following is an example of how to enable the wrapper using the Linux LD_PRELOAD mechanism (assumes default csh on default Fedora 15 images).
