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.
