Network Server Performance Benchmarking Toolbench

This is a simple collection of scripts intended to benchmark the basic network performance of a variety of server frameworks.

The servers are run inside a Docker container for environment stability, so to use this toolbench you need a reasonably recent Docker.

For the most accurate results:

1. The benchmarks should be run on a Linux environment since Docker generally runs in a virtual machine on other platforms and you may hit the limits of the virtual machine.
2. The Docker daemon should be with the userland proxy disabled

Installation

Install the following:

• Docker
• Python 3
• Numpy

Build the docker image containing the servers being tested by running ./build.sh.

The benchmarks can then be ran with ./run_benchmarks. Use ./run_benchmarks --help for various options, including selective benchmark running.
