Measure the Performance and Capacity of Carrier-Grade DNS Servers Against a High Scale of DNS Queries
Internet functionality depends on DNS servers to process an enormous number of requests simultaneously.  DNS Storm is a DNS performance test tool that sends a continuous stream of DNS query types to measure DNS server performance under stress. Use DNS Storm to load test DNS servers to help determine points of failure and eliminate performance bottlenecks. 

Stress Test DNS Servers at Scale

DNS Storm can generate up to 2 million DNS queries per second from up to a million different clients to find the breaking point of any DNS server.  

Test DNS performance by tracking how many queries are completed or lost and measuring the latency of query response times. DNS Storm supports more than a dozen DNS query types and tracks common DNS response codes.
