+This is queryperf, a DNS server query performance testing tool.
+
+It is primarily intended for measuring the performance of
+authoritative DNS servers, but it has also been used for measuring
+caching server performance. This document describes the use of
+queryperf for authoritative server performance testing.
+
+NOTE: This version of queryperf has been modified by Nominum. It
+implements a slow-start algorithm which lessens the risk of network
+buffer overflows, particularly when testing recursive servers
+with high values for the -q option.
