wsperf is a WebSocket load testing probe.
You will need to have 2 environment variables set:
BOOSTROOTpointing to a Boost installationWSPP_ROOTpointing to a WebSocket++ source distribution
Note that (for now), you will need the flow_control2 branch with WebSocket++ checked out.
To build:
scons
To cleanup
scons -uc
time ./wsperf ws://127.0.0.1:9000 4 200000 1000 2000 > results.json
Analyzing results can be done with analyze.py (a quick hack, needs more love). We need a streaming JSON parser, since results are getting big:
git clone [email protected]:oberstet/ijson.git
cd ijson
~/pypy-2.1/bin/easy_install ijson
Build and run the testee:
$ cd ~/scm/websocketpp
$ scons
$./build/release/testee_server/testee_server 9002 4
Run the test (from another shell):
$ cd ~/scm/wsperf
$ make test_ws
pypy wsperf.py --wsuri ws://127.0.0.1:9002 --workers 4 --threads 0 --conns 50000 --lowmark 250 --highmark 500

Run the testee:
$ cd ~/scm/AutobahnPython/examples/websocket/echo_multicore
$ pypy server.py --wsuri ws://localhost:9000 --workers 4 --silence
Run the test (from another shell .. make sure to run that test multiple times without restarting the testee to give the PyPy JIT compiler chance to warmup on the hotpaths):
$ cd ~/scm/wsperf
$ make test_ab
