DHCP Load Tester
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) traffic load generator
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) traffic load generator
Overview
The software-based DHCP load tester can simulate clients to test DHCP servers, or simulate DHCP server to test clients, with customizable message flows and content.
What It Can Do For You
Flexible, portable, cost-effective solution to test Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers and clients. The Valid8 DHCP load testing tool simulates DHCP requests from multiple clients in parallel to the DHCP server DUT in order to test and evaluate its performance under high loads.
Why It’s Different
- Scalable software-based architecture can run on a range of hardware from COTS and high-end customer provided hardware to Virtual Machines and the Cloud (e.g. Amazon AWS) for maximum versatility and performance
- Web-based UI is easy to learn
- HTTP API enable integration with automation test systems and other equipment
- Stateful modeling provides accurate emulation of network elements
