aquatic_udp_load_test: UDP BitTorrent tracker load tester

High-performance load tester for UDP BitTorrent trackers, for Unix-like operating systems.

Usage

Compiling

• Install Rust with rustup (latest stable release is recommended)
• Install build dependencies with your package manager (e.g., apt-get install cmake build-essential)
• Clone this git repository and build the application:

git clone https://github.com/greatest-ape/aquatic.git && cd aquatic

# Recommended: tell Rust to enable support for all SIMD extensions present on
# current CPU except for those relating to AVX-512. (If you run a processor
# that doesn't clock down when using AVX-512, you can enable those instructions
# too.)
. ./scripts/env-native-cpu-without-avx-512

cargo build --release -p aquatic_udp_load_test

Configuring and running

Generate the configuration file:

./target/release/aquatic_udp_load_test -p > "load-test-config.toml"

Make necessary adjustments to the file.

Once done, first start the tracker application that you want to test. Then, start the load tester:

./target/release/aquatic_udp_load_test -c "load-test-config.toml"
