Quoted from the website below:

"This paper describes httperf, a tool for measuring web server
|
||
|
|
performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating various
|
||
|
|
HTTP workloads and for measuring server performance. The focus of httperf
|
||
|
|
is not on implementing one particular benchmark but on providing a robust,
|
||
|
|
high-performance tool that facilitates the construction of both micro-
|
||
|
|
and macro-level benchmarks. The three distinguishing characteristics of
|
||
|
|
httperf are its robustness, which includes the ability to generate and
|
||
|
|
sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1 protocol, and its
|
||
|
|
extensibility to new workload generators and performance measurements.
|
||
|
|
In addition to reporting on the design and implementation of httperf this
|
||
|
|
paper also discusses some of the experiences and insights gained while
|
||
|
|
realizing this tool."
|

"This paper" refers to the paper that was written on this program. I don't
|
||
|
|
think I could possibly summarize it better than the above paragraph.
