description to be used)
dnsmeter is a tool for testing performance of a nameserver and the
infrastructure around it. It generates DNS queries and sends them via
UDP to a target nameserver and counts the answers.
Features:
payload can be given as a text file or a PCAP file
can automatically run different load steps, which can be given as a
list or ranges
results per load step can be stored in a CSV file
sender addresses can be spoofed from a given network or from the
addresses found in the PCAP file
answers are counted, even if source address is spoofed, if answers
get routed back to the load generator
round-trip-times are measured (average, min, mix)
the amount of DNSSEC queries can be given as percentage of total traffic
optimized for high amount of packets, on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
E5-2430 v2 @ 2.50GHz it can generate more than 900.000 packets per second
runs on Linux and FreeBSD
