-Quoted from the website below:
-
- "This paper describes httperf, a tool for measuring web server
-performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating various
-HTTP workloads and for measuring server performance. The focus of httperf
-is not on implementing one particular benchmark but on providing a robust,
-high-performance tool that facilitates the construction of both micro-
-and macro-level benchmarks. The three distinguishing characteristics of
-httperf are its robustness, which includes the ability to generate and
-sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1 protocol, and its
-extensibility to new workload generators and performance measurements.
-In addition to reporting on the design and implementation of httperf this
-paper also discusses some of the experiences and insights gained while
-realizing this tool."
-
-"This paper" refers to the paper that was written on this program. I don't
-think I could possibly summarize it better than the above paragraph.
