<p class="MsoNormal">Apache jmeter is immensely useful. It can be used to throw load at HTTP/HTTPS and a lot of protocols over top of that (SOAP/XML, JDBC, AJP etc) as well as do generic TCP connects (with auth and custom data), SMTP, LDAP queries, POP3, IMAP

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Eg for capacity testing, performance testing after a network or software change, etc.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
