Description-en: DNS Performance Testing Tool
dnsperf gathers accurate latency and throughput metrics for the Domain Name
Service (DNS). Network operators can benchmark their naming and addressing
infrastructure. dnsperf "self-paces" the DNS query load to simulate network
conditions.
.
resperf systematically increases the query rate and monitors the response
rate to simulate caching DNS services.
