Rethink Server Load
Testing Introduction What is the capacity of your data center? Will it withstand peak user load? What about attack? Will a simple distributed denial-of-service attack disrupt critical business transactions? And what about those new high-performance enterprise servers you are evaluating? Will they really live up to the promises promoted in the vendor’s data sheet? If you cannot properly measure your servers’ performance, security and stability, you won’t have any defensible answers to these questions. Your business performance and reputation are at risk, and it’s time to take a new approach to hardening your data center and establishing server load resiliency. Measuring server resiliency is about knowing how they will weather hostile conditions, including attack and extreme load, and optimizing your overall performance to drive business results. Understanding the resiliency of your data center or cloud infrastructure, in the face of high-stress traffic and cyberattack, requires the ability to simulate user behavior and load at incredibly high performance and throughput levels. Software-based server load testing, developed more than a decade ago, no longer meets today’s mega-data-center requirements. The BreakingPoint Server Load Resiliency Methodology provides a guideline for measuring server and data center resiliency in the face of real-world application traffic, live security attacks and the stress from millions of users. With the ability to simulate these real-world hostile conditions using the BreakingPoint Cyber Tomography Machine, you can pinpoint hidden stress fractures and calculate a defensible resiliency score for the certainty you need to mitigate IT risks and drastically reduce costs. With the breakthrough power of cyber tomography, BreakingPoint provides realistic network simulation of millions of simultaneous user sessions with blended, realistic application traffic from a small footprint product, eliminating costly racks of servers and software licenses. BreakingPoint products can help you stress and score your critical network infrastructure with real-world network conditions to: • Reduce risks associated with data center consolidation or migration • Improve availability and performance to reduce outages and prevent lost customers, revenue and productivity • Measure and optimize capacity to deliver the right balance of performance, security and stability in the face of escalating traffic volume • Assess resiliency against attack and data loss to mitigate security breaches • Make better IT investment decisions and eliminate the need for sprawling performance and security test labs The BreakingPoint Server Load Resiliency Methodology includes the following simulations: Load Generator: HTTP Status Codes Determine the ability of the Web server to correctly respond to Web page requests. This will help validate the performance of the Web server and verify whether it is able to correctly handle the number of requests. A Client Simulator component will be used, along with Perl Regular Expressions, to determine the returned HTTP status codes from the Web server. Load Generator: HTTP Client Login Determine the ability of the Web server to correctly handle restricted Web space and still be able to respond to Web page requests cor- rectly. This will help validate the performance of the Web server while it is also performing other tasks, and verify whether it is able to still handle a high volume of requests. A ClientSim component will be used, along with Perl Regular Expressions, to determine the returned HTTP status codes. Load Generator: HTTP Verify Page This verifies whether the Web server is correctly responding and whether the Web page is correctly being transmitted. A Web page that resides on the Web server will be uploaded to the BreakingPoint Storm CTM. The Client Simulator component will request this page and it will be verified as being either correct or incorrect. www.breakingpoint.com © 2005 - 2010. BreakingPoint Systems, Inc.

Rethink Server Load
Testing Load Generator: SMB Login, Create, Read and Delete Files This determines the ability of an SMB share. The SMB share will be stressed by having multiple files created, read and deleted. If any of these actions fail, the SMB share is either not configured correctly or unable to support the required load. A Client Simulator component will be used and the SMB results will be verified. Load Generator: Sending and Retrieving Email using SMTP and IMAP This is a two-step process involving both SMTP and IMAP. This simulation will determine the ability of the SMTP server to successfully trans- mit emails. After emails have been sent to a valid email address, IMAP will be used to retrieve those newly received emails. To verify that the simulation was successful, the email server will be checked to make sure that the emails have been received and opened. Load Generator: Sending and Retrieving Email using SMTP and POP3 This is a two-step process involving both SMTP and POP3. This simulation will determine the ability of the SMTP server to successfully trans- mit emails. After emails have been sent to a valid email address, POP3 will be used to retrieve those newly received emails. To verify that the simulation was successful, the email server will be checked to make sure that the emails have been received and opened. Load Generator: Using MS SQL to add and query a database This will determine the ability and configuration of an MS SQL database. The simulation involves first adding new content to an empty data- base. Once new content has successfully been added, it will be queried. The database will be viewed to make sure that the data added to it is actually present in the database. Load Generator: Using MySQL to add and query a database This will determine the ability and configuration of a MySQL database. The simulation involves first adding new content to an empty data- base. Once new content has successfully been added, it will be queried. The database will be viewed to make sure that the data added to it is actually present in the database. The following methodology was performed using BreakingPoint OS version 1.4.1 and ATI Pack 59235.

Testing Load Generator: HTTP Status Codes RFC: • RFC 2616 – Hypertext Transfer Protocol Overview: A new Super Flow will be created on the BreakingPoint Storm CTM. The Super Flow will be configured to download a single Web page from the Web server and then a conditional request will be used to track the HTTP status codes returned. The results from the returned HTTP status codes will be analyzed. Objective: To evaluate the ability of the HTTP server to respond to multiple requests. Setup: www.breakingpoint.com © 2005 - 2010.
