[WS-XMPP] heavy load testing

[Roberto Ostinelli]

dear all,

is there a suggested way to test heavy load implementations over xmpp? over
http it's rather simple to post data, however xmpp requests for xml stream
handling.

any ideas?

thank you,

http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/ is the only one I know of off the
top of my head. It's also easy to code your own in Twisted Python. I
know that the Tigase developers do this kind of testing as well, so
they may have an internal tool that you can reuse.

It's simple for XMPP as well.

Find a library for your preferred programming language at
http://xmpp.org/software/libraries.shtml which handles the xml streams for
you.

Can you please elaborate on "heavy load implementations"? Under high load
XMPP performs much better than HTTP when well designed because it does not
require the request response schema and its asynchronous.



Regards,

Alex

hi alex,

this is what we are currently doing. though i was hoping on existing tools
which are especially targeted to xmpp application's benchmarking.
