Httperf is a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a
|
||
|
|
flexible facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for
|
||
|
|
measuring server performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The focus of httperf is not on implementing one particular benchmark but
|
||
|
|
on providing a robust, high-performance tool that facilitates the
|
||
|
|
construction of both micro- and macro-level benchmarks. The three
|
||
|
|
distinguishing characteristics of httperf are its robustness, which
|
||
|
|
includes the ability to generate and sustain server overload, support
|
||
|
|
for the HTTP/1.1 and SSL protocols, and its extensibility to new
|
||
|
|
workload generators and performance measurements.
