idleconn - tool for opening any number of idle connections
Contents
Description
idleconn is part of httperf suite and is useful to simulate a large number of concurrent and idle
connections. It can establish a set of persistent connections, each of which generated periodic requests
to the server. The effect is that at all times, some of the connections were active while the rest were
idle, and these active and idle connection sets kept changing with time. (This paragraph was extracted
and adapted from the article "Scalability of Linux Event-Dispatch Mechanisms" (HPL-2000-174), written by
Abhishek Chandra and David Mosberger).
Example
This is a simple example how to use idleconn:
$ ./idleconn 192.168.1.1 80 100
It would open and maintain 100 idle connections to a web server, listening on port 80, using the IP
address 192.168.1.1.
