This is the command dnstcpbench that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
dnstcpbench - tool to perform TCP benchmarking of nameservers
SYNOPSIS
dnstcpbench [OPTION]... REMOTE-ADDRESS [REMOTE-PORT]
DESCRIPTION
dnstcpbench reads DNS queries (by default from standard input) and sends them out in
parallel to a remote nameserver. By default TCP/IP is used, but optionally, UDP is tried
first, which allows for the benchmarking of TCP/IP fallback.
The program reports both mean and median numbers for queries per second and UDP and TCP
latency. Each query only counts once, even if it is tried over UDP first. This
effectively means that passing '-u' can lower query rates if many queries get shunted to
TCP.
The input format is one query per line: qname single-space qtype. An example:
www.powerdns.com ANY
When benchmarking extended runs, it may be necessary to enable TIME_WAIT recycling, as
TCP/IP port tuples may otherwise run out. On Linux this is performed by running:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle
The equivalent for IPv6 is not known.
OPTIONS
-f | --file FILENAME
FILENAME from which to read queries. Defaults to standard input if unspecified.
-h | --help
Provide a helpful message.
--timeout-msec MSEC
MSEC milliseconds to wait for an answer.
-u | --udp-first
Attempt resolution via UDP first, only do TCP if truncated answer is received.
-v | --verbose
Be wordy on what the program is doing.
--workers NUM
Use NUM parallel worker threads.
REMOTE-ADDRESS
IPv4 or IPv6 to test against.
REMOTE-PORT
Port to test against, defaults to 53.
Use dnstcpbench online using onworks.net services
