load testing web sockets

[tarekziade]

I need to load test web sockets

here's what comes in mind:

1/ offer websockets API in funkload (open/close/data io) 2/ report on ws usage a/ number of concurrent opened sockets b/ data throughoutput c/ average life of a socket

I am looking at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/websocket-client and thinking about extending Funkload api to support this

is there interest on your side?

Hi Tarek,

I have done some successful test using ws4py few month ago with atmosphere: https://github.com/bdelbosc/distlock/blob/master/ftest/funkload/test_Distlock.py

I was also able to load a vertx application.

Having some reporting on ws usage will be great
