Abstract

This paper briefly describes the design of Geist, a traffic generator for stress testing of web/e-commerce servers. The generator provides a large number of dialable parameters that allow traffic characteristics to range from simple static web-page browsing to the transactional traffic seen by e-commerce front end servers. Unlike other traffic generators, Geist concentrates on the characteristics of the aggregate traffic arriving at the server, which allows for realistic traffic generation without any explicit modeling of users or network components. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.
