Abstract:- The Transaction Processing Monitor (TPM) is the most-used middleware in different e-commerce systems from large enterprises to medium and small businesses available in the internet. Due to its growing popularity, the necessity for a more efficient TPM performance is now the major concern between the developers and researchers. The need for a high-end benchmark platform for a TPM is at present very vital to meet the high performance needs of online transactions. In addition to the performance characteristics of the TPM, we also have to ensure the security of the transactions. In this paper, we perform a detailed analysis of the current software packages available for this application. And therefore, we propose a secure, isolated, and highly configurable environment using the real-time emulation capabilities of NS2 and the virtualization capabilities of Xen, in order to provide a testbed with the characteristics and behavior of a real network.
