Hi list, while reading niels's blog about performances increment in libevent 2.x series, I was really surprised about lack of "usable" benchmark tools in the current libevent distribution.
So I cloned some functionalities of the so popular Apache 'ab' benchmark tool and I started coding my own libevent-based version from the ground. The resulting program 'lb', which is an acronym for "libevent-based benchmark" tool, has been released under the BSD license and it is available for download at: http://lb.tecsiel.it This is only a preliminary version which lacks from 'ab' a lot of functionalities but adds: o benchmarking multi-servers at the same time o reading HTTP servers parameters from a file (not full tested) The package comes with: 1. a simple patch file to add the directory contrib/lb to the libevent SUBDIRS. It only changes the {configure.in,Makefile.am} libevent files in order to allow the top-level Makefile to compile under the contrib/lb directory too. 2. The 'lb' sources in a tarball format Included in the package there is also the program 'wsl' which is a micro libevent-based web server useful for testing lb itself. I really hope in the near future the tool be included in the main libevent distribution, so the choice of the contrib/lb directory. have fun /rocco -- Rocco Carbone mail-to: <rocco /at/ ntop /dot/ org> Pisa Italy Life is in the details In other words, you are welcome to use, share and improve me.
