Hi, AB is still your friend. You can check remote hosts.
Example: I want to check the speed of the company's intranet webpage. I'm going to request the index.php page 1000 times, with 5 concurrent connections. 'ab -n 1000 -c 5 http://192.168.1.200/index.php' It will output connectiondelays (ms), transferspeeds, time-outs, etcetera. Very usefull. Just put your testbox 'before' the firewall and go ahead. AB even supports round-robin. I suggest you check out 'man ab'. ;-) Regards, Pim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Hsieh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pim Effting" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 1:50 PM Subject: Re: benchmark tool for http session Hello "Pim Effting" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Thanks. I'd not only to test the http request, but also the tcp session. A http request to a html page could couse many tcp session. And I want to test the tcp session limit on the firewall or server load balancer. Basically, a http request could generate 5 or more http session, right?
