This option enables the local + server to act as multiple clients. By default, the local server + acts as a single client. + - the `-T` option was added to `dnsperf`. This option separates the + number of clients from the number of threads and allows more + clients to be simulated effectively. Note that using this option + impacts CPU and memory, so we recommend limiting the number of + threads. + +2012-03-01 + + Release 2.0.0.0 + + In the `dnsperf` command, the following changes occurred: + - The socket buffer size is no longer set to 32 kilobytes by default. + - A new `-c clients` option was added to enable the server to act as + multiple clients. Each client uses the same source IP address with a + unique source port. Use the `clients` argument to specify the number of + clients represented by the server. We recommend limiting the number of + clients represented by the server because the `dnsperf` process uses two + threads for each client (one thread for sent packets and one for + received packets), which impacts CPU and memory. + - Example query files are no longer included with the `dnsperf` program. + Nominum provides a sample query file that is available for download at: + ftp://ftp.nominum.com/pub/nominum/dnsperf/data/ + - Latency reporting improved. When the `-v` (verbose mode) option is + configured with the `dnsperf` command, the command output now includes + latency measurements and the DNS RCODE of each response. This enables + users to create their own latency graphs. + - Performance was enhanced on modern operating systems so that faster + name servers can be tested. + - The `dnsperf` command output is enhanced to display more information in a + compact format. + + The following options were removed from the `dnsperf` command: + - The `-A` option for displaying command line arguments passed to the + `dnsperf` tool in the final statistics output. Now, the `dnsperf` command + output always displays command line arguments. + - The `-T` option for printing a histogram showing response latency after + completing a test run. Now, the `-v` option enables users to include + latency measurements in the `dnsperf` command output. + - The `-H` option for configuring the number of buckets for which response + latency is displayed. Now, the `-v` option enables users to include + latency measurements in the `dnsperf` command output. + - The `-1` option for configuring the `dnsperf` tool to run through the input + file exactly one time. (Now, you use the `-n 1` option to configure the + `dnsperf` tool to run through the input file one time.) + - The `-c` option for including the number of responses received (for + each DNS RCODE) in the final statistics output. Now, DNS RCODE responses + are always reported. + + In the `resperf` command, the following changes occurred: + - The socket buffer size is no longer set to 32 kilobytes by default. + - The `-A` option, which displayed command line arguments passed to the + `resperf` tool in the final statistics output, was removed. Now, the + `resperf` command output always displays command line arguments. + +2011-12-22 + + Release 1.0.2.0 + + This release adds support for RHEL6-64 and for Solaris 10 x86-64. + + Some new configuration options have been added. You can now specify: + - the local port from which to send requests + - the local address from which to send requests + - the maximum number of runs through the input file, up + to the timeout limit. + - when using TSIG, algorithms other than hmac-md5 can be used. + + One default has been changed: + - The maximum number of outstanding requests now defaults + to 100. + + A new example query file for IPv6, `queryfile-example-ipv6`, is now + included with the distribution. + +2008-01-10 + + Release 1.0.1.0 + + This release makes binary builds of `dnsperf` available in addition to + the source code version previously released. + + This release of `dnsperf` includes a sample query file containing + 100,000 queries to help with performance testing. This query file is + useful for checking latencies or a continuous `dnsperf` run. In the + binary distribution, this file is found at: + + /usr/local/nom/examples/dnsperf/queryfile-example-100thousand + + In the source distribution, it is at: + + ./examples/queryfile-example-100thousand + + where `.` is the directory made by extracting the source tarball. + + Nominum recommends using a query file with at least 3 million queries + for a full `resperf` run as described in the man page; we make such a + file available for download at: + + ftp://ftp.nominum.com/pub/nominum/dnsperf/data/queryfile-example-3million.gz + + The following fix is included in the source distribution: + - 20996: `makefile.in` does not allow overriding `mandir` + The `--mandir` argument to `configure`, which allows the user to + specify the location man pages are installed, was incorrectly + ignored. + + `queryparse` is a contributed program available in the source + distribution of `dnsperf`. It can be found at `contrib/queryparse/`. + The following changes were made to that program: + - 19717: `contrib/queryparse` includes outgoing queries + The `queryparse` script had no way of distinguishing between incoming + queries and outgoing queries when applied to a traffic trace from a + caching server. This was addressed by adding a new flag (`-r`) that, + when included in the command line, will keep queries with + `RD=0`. Otherwise, it will default to discarding them. + - The ability to parse responses instead of queries was added. + - A check was added to avoid short packets. + - Logic was added to detect link type and correctly set the initial + offset to handle both Ethernet and Cisco HDLC frames. + - `queryparse` now uses `pcapy` instead of the `btk` python `libcap` module. + + Note that announcements of new releases of `dnsperf` are sent to the + mailing list: dnsperf-announce@nominum.com. To be added to the + mailing list, send a message to dnsperf-announce-request@nominum.com + with "subscribe" as the subject. + + Known Issues: + - None. + +2006-12-21 + + Release 1.0.0.1 + + This release addresses the following issue in the `dnsperf` program: + - 18838/18782: `dnsperf` slow down issue + Because of an error in how timeout checking was being done, queries + were rarely timing out, so the number of valid queries in flight kept + dropping. This error has been corrected. |
