Hi Tavish > You should still be able to hack together a script with tools like dhclient from busybox,
Small clarification. dhclient needs to run from outside the router. Like a laptop/PC connected to the network. dhclient can be compiled & run on any OS. > create multiple virtual interfaces and get IPs for all of them with DHCP using dhclient, once you get an IP use ab (it looks like you can tell ab to bind to particular network address, which should make it connect from that address using the -B local-address parameter) to download your file (easily thousands of connections), Question - someone else also suggested that the machine that is simulating multiple network clients will need multiple interfaces - like one interface per client. Is this a mandatory thing ? dhclient does not need multiple interface to complete dhcp process but the http stack might. Also - would not the system be limited by the number of interfaces my machine could support. Theoretically, a linux machine can have 1024 interfaces but does anybody has practically tried creating (& eventually using) multiple such interfaces on their laptop & see how many such interfaces they could create. > > -- > Regards > Tavish Naruka > > -- > -- > Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "Linux User Group @ IIT Delhi" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit https://groups.google.com/d/ topic/iitdlug/XDmbQ7WOqao/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Linux User Group @ IIT Delhi" group.
