Description of Software:
Birds-Eye.Net DHCP Stress Testing Suite is a collection of software
utilities purpose built for exposing "hard-to-find" stress points of even
the fastest Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers available.
DHCP Stress Testing Suite represents a completely vendor independent
perspective for enterprises, network service providers, and DHCP software
vendors to qualify and screen products. Vendor independent stress testing
provides objective performance and standards compliance information that
insures company networks adhere to the highest levels of interoperability
and scalability.
The DHCP Stress Testing Suite can be easily integrated into any test
lab; from small isolated test labs to large test labs offering both the ability
to quickly set up and run simple to complex tests in a repeatable fashion. Its
easy to build text input files, raw output, and command line driven executables
make our DHCP Stress Testing Suite very UNIX friendly and highly customizable.
We proudly expose the raw data you need to find the missing details in
evaluating any DHCP server's performance - our goal is to expose the truth while
giving companies the leverage (hard data) to make decisions.
Particulars about this software:
- DHCP Stress Testing Suite instances installed on its
own computer host may be networked together to generate multiple loads
in excess of 1,000,000 emulated DHCP clients (and beyond).
- Maximum number of clients emulated is only limited by
the bandwidth of the test network and the number of dedicated computers
networked and installed with licensed instances of the DHCP Stress
Testing Suite
- Each installed instance of DHCP Stress Testing Suite
requires its own unique license (site licenses are available for
larger companies to emulate large numbers of clients at multiple
locations)
- Suite can be used to performance test DHCP server as
well as check/test the correctness of its response to user constructed
DHCP requests
- Software comes complete with installation
instructions and operational man pages
- Help is available to obtain dedicated hardware and/or
completely configured hosts for an additional charge.
- Output data is in the form of a text log which can be
imported any standard data analysis tool
- Man pages of tools included:

Purchase Options:
- Evaluation:
- For purposes of evaluating the capabilities of the
DHCP Stress Testing Suite. This evaluation copy functions similar to
full featured options below EXCEPT it is restricted to only pass up to
20 pkts/sec.
- Cost of evaluation copy can be credited towards
purchase of one of the other options below IF purchased within 30 days.
- Single User:
- For small to medium sized companies with need to
test DHCP performance as part of a one-time upgrade event or on an
ongoing basis to ensure new releases are ready for production
deployment
- Enterprise:
- For medium to very large companies with a need to
test DHCP performance as part of a one-time upgrade event or on an ongoing basis but with a need to exceed
tests of over 1 million emulated clients. In cases where
enterprises need to operate 2 or more test labs operating at over 1
million emulated clients, Birds-Eye.Net offers volume licenses.
The DHCP Stress Testing Suite can be used in many different ways. For
example:
- Validate potentially attractive vendor performance numbers before giving
such products any serious business consideration.
- Evaluate new DHCP servers - compare and contrast different vendor
products to select the one that best meets your performance requirements.
- Test new releases of DHCP server software before deploying in order to
prevent making guinea pigs of customers or employees.
- Qualify products to confidently generate internal "clear to ship"
statements as well as repeatable performance numbers your customers can also
verify using our vendor independent software.
- Test standards compatibility of DHCP servers by sending different mixes
of traffic with different options that either adhere (or not) to the types
of transactions (or DHCP clients) found on your network.
- Troubleshoot DHCP servers - using information from network sniffers to
create actual operational scenarios to test in the lab and determine what
part of the network is not operating correctly.
- Generate background traffic that emulates actual operational traffic to
test other applications that must traverse and therefore compete for
bandwidth on the same best effort network.
Birds-Eye.Net's DHCP Stress Testing Suite adheres our carrier class DHCP
testing guide found under the articles and white papers of our site.
