Web Polygraph is a benchmarking framework originally designed for web proxies...it can use thousands of IPs. It does not currently have a method to test existing URLs, as far as I know (it provides its own server so that data is two-sided).

It currently works very well for stress-testing an LVS balancer, but for the realservers themselves it probably needs a pretty good amount of coding. The folks who developed it will add features for pretty good rates, particularly if the new features fit in with their future plans.

It is here:

It does have some unfortunate licensing restrictions, but is free to get, use and modify for your own internal purposes.

Hi,

I am looking for software for testing my lvs webservers with
persistant connection. With normal http benchmarking tools all request
com from one ip, but i want to simulate a few honderd connections from
different ip's with persistant connections.

Is there a good tool for, or have anyone a good idea?



I don't know how many different ip addresses you want to use. If it is several IP addresses, you may allocate some client machines to perform the test, and may use ZDLab's WebBench program.

If you want to simulate connections from hundreds of different IP
addresses at a single client machine, I don't know if there is a tool that
already exists for this purposal. Maybe you write some programs, to
configure hundreds of different IPs on alias interface, and randomly
pickup one and bind socket with it, then perform service access.

Wensong
