.::: Install & Using dnsperf on Centos7 & Ubuntu with example DNS testing :::.

DNSPerf and ResPerf are free tools developed by Nominum that make it simple to gather accurate latency and throughput metrics for Domain Name Service (DNS). These tools are easy-to-use and simulate typical Internet so network operators can benchmark their naming and addressing infrastructure and plan for upgrades. The latest version of the DNSPerf and ResPerf can be used with test files that include IPv6 queries.

1. Install requirement package dnsperf

[root@bind-server-teguhtriharto data]# wget http://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/p/pcapy-0.10.8-5.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@bind-server-teguhtriharto data]# yum -y install gnuplot* pcapy* python-dns*

2. Install dnsperf
[root@bind-server-teguhtriharto data]# wget https://centos.pkgs.org/7/nux-dextop-x86_64/dnsperf-2.1.0.0-2.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm.html

3. Constructing a query input file
A,NS,MD,MF,CNAME,SOA,MB,MG,MR,NULL,WKS,PTR,HINFO,MINFO, MX,TXT,AAAA,SRV,NAPTR,A6,ASFR,MAILB,MAILA,ANY.

example
[root@bind-server-teguhtriharto data]# cat n.txt
google.com A
teguhtriharto.com A
[root@bind-server-teguhtriharto data]#
