<div dir="ltr"><br><div>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 ... and probably more which I've never used. Can function distributed also, e.g. tests distributed from one client to multiple jmeter servers.</div>

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>
<br>
