(the following is copied from the website, not the actual package description to be used) dnsmeter is a tool for testing performance of a nameserver and the infrastructure around it. It generates DNS queries and sends them via UDP to a target nameserver and counts the answers. Features: payload can be given as a text file or a PCAP file can automatically run different load steps, which can be given as a list or ranges results per load step can be stored in a CSV file sender addresses can be spoofed from a given network or from the addresses found in the PCAP file answers are counted, even if source address is spoofed, if answers get routed back to the load generator round-trip-times are measured (average, min, mix) the amount of DNSSEC queries can be given as percentage of total traffic optimized for high amount of packets, on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430 v2 @ 2.50GHz it can generate more than 900.000 packets per second runs on Linux and FreeBSD
