Long story cut short: I wanna test the performance of several "hybrid" clients in a closed environment, both on Linux and Windows. We all know there are several clients that work on both OS'es. We also know there are several "flavors" of OS but we already decided on Server 2008 vs. RedHat 5.
Anyhow, bandwidth is not the issue since it's a closed environment. Also, there is a very basic tracker online as well that will server the swarm. The server will be getting a 100Mbit uplink within the environment and the "clients" will all get a Gbit downstream.
But the main focus is: how can I simulate 10, 50, 100 or maybe even 250 connections to the server with only 5 or 10 clients? Is there some kind of proven load-testing for torrents (served by that one server)? Or does anyone, with decent tech-knowledge, have a decent idea where to start from?
Please: no discussions or flaming on which OS or which client to use!
@Mods: if this topic is in the wrong place, please move it around...
