DHCP Loader

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) traffic load generator

Overview

The software-based DHCP load tester can simulate clients to test DHCP servers, or simulate DHCP server to test clients, with customizable message flows and content.

What we Can Do For You

Flexible, portable, cost-effective solution to test Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers and clients. The Valid8 DHCP load testing tool simulates DHCP requests from multiple clients in parallel to the DHCP server DUT in order to test and evaluate its performance under high loads.

Why we’re Different

  • Scalable software-based architecture can run on a range of hardware from COTS and high-end customer provided hardware to Virtual Machines and the Cloud (e.g. Amazon AWS) for maximum versatility and performance
  • Web-based UI is easy to learn
  • HTTP API enable integration with automation test systems and other equipment
  • Stateful modeling provides accurate emulation of network elements

Features

  • Up to 2,000 clients per server (scalable across machines)
  • Client and Server emulators available
  • True stateful simulation 
  • IPv4 mode: DISCOVER, OFFER, REQUEST, ACK
  • IPv6 mode: SOLICIT, ADVERTISE, REQUEST, REPLY
  • Generate valid and invalid/negative messages and call-scenarios (fully editable scenarios) 
  • Supports sending invalid messages including malformed, dropped, and misordered packets 
  • Check parameters in messages from SUT and flag errors

Automation API

User commands can be fully automated using REST API. This includes performing all test control functions as well as collecting results and metrics. It can be integrated into virtually any CI system via the HTTP API, including Jenkins, CircleCI, Gitlab and others. Includes Autom8 Python framework.

Scripting

The application’s subsystems can be edited directly in the browser using TDL. The Message Workshop allows for the creation of test scenarios directly from the hex stream of a remote capture, while the Composer graphical editor (being deployed for all products in 2021) will allow for creating customized call scenarios by dragging and dropping the call flow to meet your test needs.
