Hello Jmeter developers, It will be nice to have in Jmeter emulation of User speed connection. However to do this task in Java can be not practical and easy.
Another way to this problem can be to add support for virtual IP addreses in clients (per thread ???). Most testing is done in laboratory or after firewall conditions and huge block of IPs like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x can be easily used. ------------------------------------------------------- Java have on java.net.Socket parameter for it: public Socket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort) throws IOException Its also part of org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection as setLocalAddress(InetAddress localAddress) Set the local address used when creating the connection. ------------------------------------------------------- For getting valid virtual IP addreses module for reading User parameter from file can by modified (One IP per thread if there is anought in list). Using virual IP addesses give to tester posilibty to use Linux kernel based shaping modules to emulate client banwith. This modules have also nice interfaces so this aproach can by used also by non Linux adminstrators. I can test this feaure with tpcdump and ethernal if jmeter team will impement it. I can also write small howto use it if somebody will check my english in it.
