[AusNOG] Load Testing Tools?

Dear Prk



For testing IP transit upstream towards your service have a look at http://www.ipstresser.com/



If you sign up for an account it has no problem pushing 20gbits towards a service, which gives most equipment a run for its money in both packets per second and throughput.



The tool is very powerful so I suggest increasing throughput slowly, you might also want to let your upstream provider know you're going to run such a test.



I wrote a little article last year about the 200mbit free trial they offer which can be found here http://www.micron21.com/network-stress-test.php



Kindest Regards

Hi all,



I'm curious what load testing tools (commercial or home grown, if any) people use for generating network & systems load to test throughput & response times.



Eg for capacity testing, performance testing after a network or software change, etc.



More specific examples would include radius server testing packets per second (to cater for a brown out disconnect / reconnect event), or proxy server testing peak requests per second, or throughput testing an upstream 10Gbit link from a carrier, etc.





prk.
