[Opensim-users] Load Testing OpenSim

[Dirk Krause]

yes, this absolutely is one way to go.

we successfully experimented with
- ec2 linux instances sporting the hippo viewer
- streaming the hippo window output as a .flv source
- emulating keystrokes to the hippo viewer to move the avatar

all in all this makes a fully qualified client that hits the OpenSimulator as hard as a real client does, still it is scriptable in a limited way. and it would be perfectly scalable via the cloud.

I haven't much dug into that, but it seems to me that a scalable cloud
infra should be perfect for what you describe : large numbers of
clients for a limited time, *real* different ips,...
1 loader script piloting 'on the fly' created ec2/whaterver client
instances, only for the time they're needed. Even for large load
tests, the overall cost should noy go beyond a few dollars.
