High‐performance benchmarking with Web Polygraph
Alex Rousskov, Duane Wessels · Software Practice and Experience · 2004
Abstract This paper presents the design and implementation of Web Polygraph, a tool for benchmarking HTTP intermediaries. We discuss various challenges involved in simulating Web traffic and in developing a portable, high‐performance tool for generating such traffic. Polygraph's simulation models, as well as our experiences with developing and running the benchmark, may be useful for Web proxy developers, performance analysts, and researchers interested in Web traffic simulation.
