- hooleylistCirrostratusWhat protocol(s) do you want to test? Do you want to test the virtual server functionality and/or performance?
- sprashanthac_81NimbostratusActually we have to test performance and that nothing breaks in the real environment. We want to see if it can take a lot of load and perform as we expect. Like after setting some changes and adding irules and see if this makes any changes to the performance. Get some statistics and then implement it. say about 1K hits to check .
- sprashanthac_81NimbostratusActually yes we are testing the HTTP, HTTPS protocols, and also the virtual server performance on both GTM and LTM
- hooleylistCirrostratusDo you want free, open source tools or do you have budget to pay for a commercial tool?
- sprashanthac_81Nimbostratusan open source would be good as of now but please let me know of both may be I could request to buy one.

- sprashanthac_81NimbostratusThanks folks will try these and reply if that works
- sprashanthac_81Nimbostratus@Aaron,
- hooleylistCirrostratusMost often, I use another LTM with ab or curl as a client. You could use the standby unit if you have a redundant pair. This way, you don't need another Linux host and you don't add load to the LTM that's passing the traffic.
- JRahmAdminI second ab and curl. I'm just looking into curl-loader, which wraps a scripting/report environment around curl. I'll write it up for a blog when I'm done.
