DnsMux
IP load-balancing and traffic management appliances for enhanced performance, high availability, reliability, and disaster tolerance from Redhill Networks
Natural disasters can be unpredictable and unavoidable, but they do not need to cause systems to be unavailable.
As Internet and intranet applications continue to grow in popularity and criticality, as more and more users around the globe become connected to the Internet, and as applications are increasing served via the Internet, the demands for continuous availability and the cost of downtime continue to escallate. Today’s users demand ever-more stable computing environments and expect web sites to always be available.
Today’s users also demand high performance from anywhere in the world. Many companies are deploying additional hosting sites to satisfy user demands but face challenges as to how to connect users to the best servers to satisfy their requests and deliver high performance to users located far away from hosting servers
+ Introducing DnsMux
DnsMux™ is an intelligent DNS server that can ensure the uptime and of Web- and other IP-based applications by diverting traffic away from failed servers to servers at one or more different geographical locations, while also ensuring that users worldwide are connected to the best servers to meet performance and content objectives.
Availability of hosting servers becomes harder to manage when they are at different locations, so further challenges arise as to how to handle scheduled downtime – and, even more difficult, unscheduled downtime due to failure – of servers that are out of reach, while ensuring demands for continuous availability to users worldwide. DnsMux facilitates servers or entire sites to be taken out of operation at will, all from a Web-based interface anywhere in the world.
CAI Networks has created a simple and affordable solution to meet these challenges. With DnsMux, what has until now been available only to those with the resources to spend on high-priced solutions is now available to everyone.
+ What is DNSMux?
DnsMux is a network appliance that replaces conventional authoritative DNS servers, which offer limited functionality. In a multi-site environment, DNSMux provides all the functionality of existing DNS server but additionally offers:
High availability / failover: DnsMux automatically monitors the health of the web servers it controls; should a failure occur, or should one or more servers at a site be taken out of operation, DnsMux automatically sends new traffic to a functioning site
High performance / load balancing: DnsMux automatically detects heavily-loaded servers or sites and directs users to equivalent servers or sites with lighter loads
Affinity targeting: DnsMux can automatically determine the geographical location of each user and, based on configuration settings, route them to the appropriate web server or server farm that contains the appropriate content based on language, geography, etc.
+ High Availability / Failover
Natural disasters, power outages, ISP failures, and other problems can cause a site to be totally unreachable for a short or extended period of time. During that time, many users are likely to give up and assume the worst, since they will have no idea when the site may come back up, and are likely to abandon after retrying for a brief period of time. This can mean loss of confidence, and loss of business.
DnsMux handles such problems by regularly checking the health of each site (comprised of one or more web servers) it manages every few seconds to ensure that each is operational. Should the site experience problems, its servers are immediately taken out of service and new traffic is routed to another site. Such multiple sites can all be active, or one or more can be designed as hot standby. DnsMux can be configured to fail over to either any active site or to a specific site should a failure occur.
DnsMux’s health-checking uses OSI layer 4 to 7 network protocols and RSA-encrypted secure communication between DnsMuxes at all times. Should an abnormal situation be detected, DnsMux can be configured to send notification to a specified email address, mobile phone, or PDA.
+ Facilitates Planned and Unplanned Downtime
Besides being able to avoid unplanned downtime due to disaster or other mishap, DnsMux facilitates planned downtime for maintenance or other purpose by exempting one or more (or all) servers at a site from receiving traffic. During such times, traffic is diverted to other servers or other sites until the server(s) are brought back online.
DnsMux permits sites to be designated for normal operation, or they can act as hot standbys should another site fail.
+ Peak Performance for Geographically Distributed
Users and Sites
Whereas ordinary DNS servers directs users to multiple sites serving the same content on a rather arbitrary basis, DNSMux can route each user to the site that offers the best performance.
DnsMux can automatically determine each user’s approximate geographical location and the proximity to each server in a DnsMux-managed geographical network, and cause the traffic to be routed to the closest server that hosts the content being sought.
DnsMux regularly monitors the performance of each server it manages and routes traffic to the best performing servers, thereby ensuring optimal user response times. DnsMux can intelligently load-balance traffic between multiple sites as well as multiple servers at a site.
+ Affinity Targeting Connects Users to Appropriate Content
An important DnsMux feature for sites that contain disparate content is the ability to automatically routes users to the sites and servers containing appropriate content. Such affinities are typically based on geography – for example, routing users in Germany to German-language sites, or routing European users to a Europe site while US-based are routed to English-language sites in North America.
Such affinity targeting is accomplished via automatic determination of users’ locations and configuration settings identifying which geographies should be associated with various sites. If multiple servers can satisfy affinity-based user requests, DnsMux is able to route users to the closest ones, based on geographical proximity or measured performance.
Failover capability is employed so that if any of the DnsMux-managed sites should fail users will be automatically rerouted around them to the sites that contain the appropriate content.
+ High Security
DnsMux configuration and management is done via a browser-based interface, permitting remote administration from anywhere that has IP connectivity and secure access to the DnsMux unit. DnsMux contains its own firewall to enforce access only by authorized users or other DnsMux units with which it communicates.
DnsMux’s configuration and management features include:
Master/slave configuration capability permits changes to be made on one DnsMux and automatically propagated to other DnsMuxes in the network
DnsMux’s built-in firewall restricts configuration access to only authorized users
DnsMux is equipped with a second network interface, allowing administration tasks to be routed through a specified network
DnsMux can be located behind a NAT firewall or WebMux load balancer
The DnsMux unit includes a front keypad interface and menu-driven LCD display, which constantly updates its operational status.
To further ease implementation, CAI Networks can factory pre-configure a customer’s DnsMux unit(s) as a free service.

Spirent Avalanche Load Testing Appliance
Part of the Avalanche suite of testing tools from Spirent Communications
Avalanche provides considerable flexibility, enabling testers to specify load variables such as user sessions, new user sessions per second, transactions,transactions per second, connections or connections per second. One load profile can be specified for an entire test, or a separate load profile can be defined for each group of simulated users. This flexible approach enables
different actions, network characteristics and loads to be specified for each group of simulated users. In addition, graduated load-stressing capabilities save time by allowing testers to set up user and network parameters just once and then
perform tests at multiple load levelsgenerated, recreating a wide range of real-world loading scenarios. This proactive approach enables you to correct trouble spots and bottlenecks before network slowdowns or costly outages occur.
Features include
Simulating load variables such as user sessions, new user sessions, and variations on transactions per second. Different loads per group of users.

Curl-loader
Curl-loader (also known as "omes-nik" and "davilka") is an open-source tool written in C-language, simulating application load and application behavior of thousands and tens of thousand HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/FTPS clients, each with its own source IP-address. In contrast to other tools curl-loader is using real C-written client protocol stacks, namely, HTTP and FTP stacks of libcurl and TLS/SSL of openssl, and simulates user behavior with support for login and authentication flavors.
The tool is useful for performance loading of various application services, for testing web and ftp servers and traffic generation. Activities of each virtual client are logged and collected statistics includes information about resolving, connection establishment, sending of requests, receiving responses, headers and data received/sent, errors from network, TLS/SSL and application (HTTP, FTP) level events and errors.
- Rampup of the virtual clients number at loading start in either automatic or manual mode;
- IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and URIs;
- HTTP 1.1. GET, POST and PUT, including file upload operations;
- HTTP user authentication login with POST or GET+POST methods. Unique configurable username and password for each virtual client as well as configurable posted string (post-forms) are the options. Another option is loading of users with credentials from a tokens text file;
- HTTP POST/GET forms with up to 16 tokens filled from a tokens text file;
- HTTP user logoff with POST, GET+POST, or GET (cookies); POST logoff with configurable posted string (post-forms);
- HTTP multipart form data POST-ing as in RFC1867;
- HTTP Web and Proxy Authentication (HTTP 401 and 407 responses) with Basic, Digest (RFC2617) and NTLM supported;
- HTTP 3xx redirections with unlimited number of redirections;
- HTTP cookies and DNS caches;
- FTP passive and active, FTP upload;
- Full customization of client request HTTP/FTP headers ;
- Transfer limit rate for each client download or upload operation on a per url bases;
- URL fetching probability;
- TCP connections reuse or re-establishment on a per url bases;
- Unlimited configurable number of URLs. Mixing of HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS urls in a single batch (test plan) configuration;
- Connection establishment timers for each URL;
- URL completion timers monitoring and enforcement for each client;
- Inter/after URL "sleeping" timers, including random timers taken from a configurable interval;
- Logfile with tracing activities for each virtual client. The logfile is automatically rewinded, when reaching configurable size preventing disk crashes;
- Logging of responses (headers and bodies) to files.
- Pre-cooked batch configuration (test plan) examples;
- Load Status GUI at console and with output to file;
- Status and statistics for each virtual client, which are logged to file;
The tool is useful for performance loading of various application services, for testing web and ftp servers and traffic generation. Activities of each virtual client are logged and collected statistics includes information about resolving, connection establishment, sending of requests, receiving responses, headers and data received/sent, errors from network, TLS/SSL and application (HTTP, FTP) level events and errors.
- Rampup of the virtual clients number at loading start in either automatic or manual mode;
- IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and URIs;
- HTTP 1.1. GET, POST and PUT, including file upload operations;
- HTTP user authentication login with POST or GET+POST methods. Unique configurable username and password for each virtual client as well as configurable posted string (post-forms) are the options. Another option is loading of users with credentials from a tokens text file;
- HTTP POST/GET forms with up to 16 tokens filled from a tokens text file;
- HTTP user logoff with POST, GET+POST, or GET (cookies); POST logoff with configurable posted string (post-forms);

vPerformer
Verisium vPerformer is a product that can be used assess the performance and scalability of web applications. vPerformer reveals the behavior of your web application when it is subject to extreme stress. You can measure the performance characteristics of your application by generating automated test scripts and replaying either recorded or customized test scripts that simulate thousands of concurrent virtual users.
In addition to showing you the performance characteristics of your own application, vPerformer enables you to monitor the state of any associated external component that influences the behavior of your application. These components include web servers, application servers, database servers, operating systems, network devices, and SNMP implementations of various vendors. This allows you to identify performance bottlenecks and pinpoint the source of the performance problem.
Features:
-user-friendly interface based on point-and-click operations
-uses the industry standard JavaScript language
-vPerformer can simulate thousands of virtual users while placing a negligible load
-roup recorded HTTP requests by web page or it can record each HTTP request individually.
-Support for multiple platforms, browsers, web servers, application servers and database servers over a LAN or WAN.
