Recommend any specific tools to "stress test" the Palo Alto

L6 Presenter

Hi Guys,

 

Any specific Stress Test tools could be used for Palo, looking to generate a hundred thousand flows. Can Kali Linux or any others do this?

 

Cheers,

iperf or even Seagull will do the job, iperf is probably better documented though. 

Hello hello,

 

Thanks as always. Can iperf also generate a TCP/UDP sessions? Looking to get 100000 sessions.

 

p.s checked and don't think it is possible with iperf/iperf3. Good for bandwidth check between client/server

 

Thx,

Myky

Check out http://warp17.net Who’s A Rapid Packet generator? Lightweight solution for generating high volumes of session-based traffic with high setup rates. The project emerged from the need of having an easy to configure and use, open stateful traffic generator that would run on commodity hardware. Performance benchmarks A peek at WARP17’s performances shows that it easily reaches line rate of 40Gbps with: TCP setup rates of 6.8M sessions/sec HTTP setup rates of 3.6M sessions/sec with continuous bidirectional traffic UDP rates between 20M pkts/sec and 45M pkts/sec For details see the Benchmarks Section in the documentation.

Hello,

 

Looks interesting. Let me check.

 

Thanks,

Myky

Yeah, Ixia is the most known probably. But I'm afraid to even ask for quote on it 🙂

Any info about price?
