NeckoNet is a tool designed for the networking team to be able to test the performance of the networking stack under various networking conditions. It consists of linux machine running a web server (apache), talos, a modified netem kernel module, some glue, and a lot of hope. You can tell this machine what branch you want to build and test, what pages you want to test with, and what you want the network conditions to look like during your test (bandwidth, packet loss and latency for now), and it will magically (or not) do everything for you and dump some timing numbers in an output directory. This way you can, for example, run 2 branches under the same conditions on the same set of pages, and find out which is best (or least bad, depending on your outlook on life). | |||
