Conn - Load test your router!

Open several connections for HTTP/HTTPS load test. For the list of options, try ./conn.py --help.

Examples - Single URL

• Test a single URL with 10 simultaneous threads on a single process.

  Requests: 10; Max Simultaneous Requests: 10

    ./conn.py -i http://example.com -t 10
  

• Test a single URL with 10 simultaneous threads on a single process and repeat the process 3 times. Note each process will only open after the previous one finished (All 10 threads must end).

  Requests: 30; Max Simultaneous Requests: 10

    ./conn.py -i http://example.com -t 10 -r 3
  

• Test a single URL with 10 simultaneous threads per process (up to 5 processes. This is limited by -r if defined).

  Requests: 50; Max Simultaneous Requests: 50

    ./conn.py -i http://example.com -t 10 -p 5
  

• Test a single URL with 10 simultaneous threads per process (up to 5 simultaneous processes and a total of 7).

  Requests: 70; Max Simultaneous Requests: 50

    ./conn.py -i http://example.com -t 10 -p 5 -r 7
  

  When -r is less than -p, the number of simultaneous processes will be limited by -r.

Examples - Multiple URLs

Create a file with one URL per line (example.txt) and add -f option. The URLs in this file are accessed in a cycle. So, if the user requests 10 connections and the file has 8 items, the first two items will be replayed.

• Open the first 10 URLs on separated threads

    ./conn.py -f -i example.txt -t 10
  

• When opening multiple processes, each one will read the list from the beginning so the first command below will test the first 10 URLs 5 times while the second one will offset each process by 10 elements, testing a total of 50 different URLs (if the file have that many items).

    ./conn.py -f -i example.txt -t 10 -p 5
    ./conn.py -f -i example.txt -t 10 -p 5 --offset 10
  

• Skip the first 50 elements of the list (Actually they will be moved to the end of the list because of the cycle behavior):

    ./conn.py -fi example.txt -t 10 --skip 50
  

• Shuffle the list of URLs before each process start.

    ./conn.py -fi example.txt -t 10 -p 5 --shuffle
  

  Although this option can be used alongside with --skip and --offset, it makes little sense because the list order is now random.
