Introduction
Virutal IP Configurator
batch/shell files provide the ability to generate
virtual clients or allocate a unique IP address for each virtual
user located in the same physical machine. Assigning each virtual
user with a unique IP address emulates a real world browser user simulation.
This enables to place a much more realistic load on the web server to
measure the performance statistics.

Note: You need to configure
virtual IPs only in cases where you wish to assign unique IP to each virtual
user simulated during load test. If Use
unique IP for each Virtual User option in Play Settings is not
selected then you can ignore this step. |
