<h1>h2load - HTTP/2 benchmarking tool - HOW-TO<a class="headerlink" href="#h2load-http-2-benchmarking-tool-how-to" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>h2load is benchmarking tool for HTTP/2. If built with
spdylay (<a class="reference external" href="http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/spdylay/">http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/spdylay/</a>) library, it also
supports SPDY protocol. It supports SSL/TLS and clear text for both
HTTP/2 and SPDY.</p>
<div class="section" id="basic-usage">
<h2>Basic Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-usage" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>In order to set benchmark settings, specify following 3 options.</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-n</span></tt></dt>
<dd>The number of total requests. Default: 1</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-c</span></tt></dt>
<dd>The number of concurrent clients. Default: 1</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-m</span></tt></dt>
<dd>The max concurrent streams to issue per client.
If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">auto</span></tt> is given, the number of given URIs is used.
Default: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">auto</span></tt></dd>
</dl>
<p>Here is a command-line to perform benchmark to URI https://localhost
using total 100000 requests, 100 concurrent clients and 10 max
concurrent streams:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ h2load -n100000 -c100 -m10 https://localhost
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The benchmarking result looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">finished</span> <span class="n">in</span> <span class="mi">0</span> <span class="n">sec</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">385</span> <span class="n">millisec</span> <span class="n">and</span> <span class="mi">851</span> <span class="n">microsec</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">2591</span> <span class="n">req</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">s</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">1689</span> <span class="n">kbytes</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">s</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The number of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">failed</span></tt> is the number of requests returned with non
2xx status. The number of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">error</span></tt> is the number of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">failed</span></tt> plus
the number of requests which failed with connection error.</p>
<p>The number of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">total</span></tt> in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">traffic</span></tt> is the received application
data. If SSL/TLS is used, this number is calculated after decryption.
The number of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">headers</span></tt> is the sum of payload size of response
HEADERS (or SYN_REPLY for SPDY). This number comes before
decompressing header block. The number of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">data</span></tt> is the sum of
response body.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="flow-control">
<h2>Flow Control<a class="headerlink" href="#flow-control" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>HTTP/2 and SPDY/3 or later employ flow control and it may affect
benchmarking results. To adjust receiver flow control window size,
there is following options:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-w</span></tt></dt>
<dd>Sets the stream level initial window size to
(2**&lt;N&gt;)-1. For SPDY, 2**&lt;N&gt; is used instead.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-W</span></tt></dt>
<dd>Sets the connection level initial window size to
(2**&lt;N&gt;)-1. For SPDY, if &lt;N&gt; is strictly less
than 16, this option is ignored. Otherwise
2**&lt;N&gt; is used for SPDY.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section" id="multi-threading">
<h2>Multi-Threading<a class="headerlink" href="#multi-threading" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Sometimes benchmarking client itself becomes a bottleneck. To remedy
this situation, use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-t</span></tt> option to specify the number of native
thread to use.</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-t</span></tt></dt>
<dd>The number of native threads. Default: 1</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section" id="selecting-protocol-for-clear-text">
<h2>Selecting protocol for clear text<a class="headerlink" href="#selecting-protocol-for-clear-text" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>By default, if http:// URI is given, HTTP/2 protocol is used. To
change the protocol to use for clear text, use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-p</span></tt> option.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="multiple-uris">
<h2>Multiple URIs<a class="headerlink" href="#multiple-uris" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>If multiple URIs are specified, they are used in round robin manner.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Please note that h2load uses sheme, host and port in the first URI
and ignores those parts in the rest of the URIs.</p>
