Performance Evaluation of Large Scale Networks,Challenges And Guidelines

This paper is an overview of benchmarks and tools being used for large scale network performance evaluation analysis, modeling, simulation and Benchmarking. In this paper we first describe some performance evaluation metrics and approaches and then we introduce some simulation and analysis tools for this purpose. But our emphasize on this paper is on benchmarking and in this way, we introduce more than 10 benchmark in network performance evaluation. We have chosen Web server Stress Benchmark as one of the most powerful benchmarks .Then, we have done three tests on this benchmark, but in this paper we show only one of these tests. As we expected this benchmark has very features and provides a number of robust and flexible reports and logging features to help you gather valuable data about your Web server and website performance.
