# polygraph(7)

performance benchmark for web intermediaries

## NAME

Polygraph - performance benchmark for web intermediaries

## DESCRIPTION

Web Polygraph is a performance testing tool for caching proxies, origin server accelerators, L4/7 switches, content filters, and other Web intermediaries. Polygraph's features include:

  \* high-performance HTTP clients and servers\
   \* realistic HTTP, FTP, and SSL traffic generation\
   \* HTTP Basic, NTLM, and Negotiate proxy authentication\
   \* LDAP-friendly generation of user credentials\
   \* flexible content simulation\
   \* ready-to-use standard workloads for benchmarking\
   \* powerful domain-specific configuration language\
   \* portable open-source implementation\
   \* friendly commercial support
