		<description><![CDATA[On a recent project, I needed to run a performance test where tens of thousands of network devices communicate with a DHCP server. After the test, I wanted to create a pretty graph of the number of DHCP requests hitting the server. Using a combination of AWK and Excel, I had a solution within half [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another application to add to your performance testing toolkit is Wireshark (previously called Ethereal). A packet sniffer like Wireshark will let you see your network traffic at all the different protocol layers. A naturally curious person might use it to investigate why the lights on their router started flashing all the time just after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mercury has just announced that they will no longer be re-selling the Shunra WAN Emulator. This means that I can let you in on a little secret &#8211; you can get most of the WAN emulation features for free by using a simple open-source program. As performance testers, we know that an application operating over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Itâ€™s always nice to base your load test on real-world usage patterns rather than someoneâ€™s â€œbest guessâ€. If the system is used internally, Business Analysts are usually quite good at providing this information, but if the system is used by external users (like most high-traffic web applications), then they can typically only tell you â€œbig [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when creating performance testing scripts, you will stumble upon vulnerabilities in the application under test. Maybe you will miss a value you should have correlated before sending to the server, and when you go back and check your script you will find that (hypothetically) the web store is allowing you to purchase every item [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following a load test, I often need to perform some additional analysis on the web server logs. It is not practical to use any commercial tools, and the free tools are all aimed at people who want graphs and statistics for entire weeks or months, rather than a few hours of high load. So far, [...]]]></description>
