Hi,
While not directly INN-related, I thought this might be useful to some
people on this list.
I've recently created two utilities to aid in NNTP server development:
nntpgen and nntpsink. They are designed for stress/load-testing and
benchmarking, but could also be useful in other areas.
nntpgen acts as an NNTP client (innfeed-like), generates random NNTP
articles and feeds them to a peer (streaming only for now) as fast as
possible.
nntpsink acts as an NNTP transit server, accepts articles from clients
(IHAVE or streaming, no posting) and discards them.
Both tools print statistics on number of articles processed per second.
In testing, nntpgen feeding nntpsink operated at ~160,000 articles/sec
on an 8-core 3.4GHz Intel i7, which should be much faster than any real
NNTP server.
For now there are no releases, but source can be obtained from Github:
https://github.com/rtarnell/nntpgen
https://github.com/rtarnell/nntpsink
Questions / comments / bug reports etc. appreciated (consider these beta
at best for now!).
Regards,
