Plow
Plow ist eine Suite von Hilfsprogrammen zur Generierung von HTTP-Last, zur Messung der Netzwerkleistung und zur Visualisierung von Live-Metriken. Es fungiert sowohl als HTTP-Lastgenerator als auch als Benchmarking-Tool, das Latenz und Durchsatz misst, indem es gleichzeitige Anfragen mit konfigurierbaren Raten sendet.
Das Projekt enthält einen Socks5- und HTTP-Proxy-Client, der es ermöglicht, Benchmark-Traffic durch Proxys zu leiten, um Dienste hinter Netzwerk-Gateways zu testen. Es bietet zudem ein Echtzeit-Leistungs-Dashboard via Web- und Terminal-Interfaces, um Live-Metriken und Latenz-Histogramme während aktiver Sessions zu visualisieren.
Das Tool deckt API-Workload-Simulation durch benutzerdefinierte Anforderungskonfigurationen, Netzwerk-Proxy-Tests und Echtzeit-Traffic-Überwachung ab.
Features
- HTTP Endpoint Benchmarking - Measures HTTP latency and throughput by sending concurrent requests at configurable rates.
- HTTP Request Configurations - Allows defining custom HTTP methods, headers, and payloads to simulate specific API workloads.
- SOCKS5 Proxy Tunneling Clients - Implements the Socks5 handshake and relay protocol to route benchmark traffic through intermediate proxies.
- Traffic Proxying - Directs benchmark traffic through Socks5 or HTTP proxies to evaluate services behind network gateways.
- HTTP Throughput Benchmarking - Measures web service latency and throughput using concurrent requests with configurable rates and durations.
- Real-Time Metric Visualization - Renders live system metrics and histogram charts within a monitoring interface during active sessions.
- Real-Time Monitoring Dashboards - Ships a web and terminal interface for visualizing live performance metrics and latency histograms.
- Real-Time Traffic Monitoring - Provides live visualization of performance metrics and latency histograms via web and terminal interfaces.
- HTTP Load Testing - Generates high volumes of HTTP requests with custom configurations to simulate API workloads.
- Proxy Performance Testing - Evaluates web service performance behind gateways by routing benchmark traffic through Socks5 or HTTP proxies.
- Workload Simulations - Simulates realistic API traffic patterns by defining custom request methods, headers, and body content.
- Time-Series Aggregations - Aggregates latency samples into real-time buckets to generate frequency distributions without storing every request.
- Network I/O Multiplexing - Uses system-level multiplexing to handle thousands of concurrent network sockets for low-latency metric collection.
- Concurrent Request Pools - Manages a pool of asynchronous workers to maximize network throughput via simultaneous HTTP connections.
- Pre-loaded Request Buffers - Implements memory-efficient request templating by pre-loading headers and bodies into buffers to minimize overhead.
- Load Testing Tools - High-performance benchmarking tool with real-time web UI.
