Hi All, I'm nearing the end (finally) of a huge update (more of a rewrite) a software project (over 10,000+ lines).
It's CGI based, tracking clicks. Now I want to run some proper benchmarks so I know exactly how much traffic the software can handle in clicks per second... I'd like a report of the number of clicks sent per second over say, an hour period and what the server load was for each minute. I'm assuming that I need 2 machines, with one send clicks to the other. I could use my US server to call my UK server, but I don't know what software to use and my searches haven't brought up much :-( Also I concerned that this is similar to a DOS attack? Is there a change my hosting providers will cut my connection or block my IP once I start the test? I could setup a couple of local machines, but I'm guessing the tests wouldn't be that accurate as they are conducted over a LAN rather than the net. Any and all advice and pointers welcome.
