Design and implementation of an EPP load generator

The RFC3730 describes the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), an XML-based protocol created for providing a standard Internet domain name registration protocol on behalf of domain name registrars and registries. The goal of our study is to understand the key elements in performance of an EPP system designed to automate the domain name registration process. For accomplishing this task, as first step, we designed and implemented an EPP Load Generator which creates synthetic traffic of domain name registrations. In this report the architecture of the EPP load generator is discussed in detail
