dnspyre is a command-line DNS benchmark tool built to stress test and measure the performance of DNS servers.
This tool is based and originally forked from dnstrace, but was largely rewritten and enhanced with additional functionality.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports a wide variety of options to customize DNS benchmark and benchmark output e.g.
- benchmark DNS servers using DNS queries over UDP or TCP.
- benchmark DNS servers with all kinds of query types like A, AAAA, CNAME, HTTPS, … (
--typeoption). - benchmark DNS servers with a lot of parallel queries and connections (
--number,--concurrencyoptions). - benchmark DNS servers for a specified duration (
--durationoption). - benchmark DNS servers with DoT (DNS over TLS).
- benchmark DNS servers using DoH (DNS over HTTPS).
- benchmark DNS servers using DoQ (DNS over QUIC).
- benchmark DNS servers with uneven random load from provided high volume resources (see –probability option).
- plot benchmark results via CLI histogram or plot the benchmark results as boxplot, histogram, line graphs and export them via all kind of image formats like png, svg and pdf. (see –plot and –plotf options).
