Performance Guide

 



Overview

 

This section gives the performance statistics of the Network Simulator in 6.0. The performance test were conducted separately for a 250 node network and  100000 node network. The environment in which the tests were performed, the hardware configurations and the performance numbers for request handling and trap handling are provided in this topic.

Performance Numbers for Trap Handling in SNMP Trap Stormer

 

From Trap Stormer:

 

The Trap Stormer is used to test the performance of trap handling in Simulation Toolkit. The performance of the trap is calculated using the Trap Stormer in normal mode.
