Abstract
System and method embodiments are provided herein to test Network Attached Storage (NAS) server performance by generating a sufficient load in NAS client sessions. A test device is configured to run as many needed NAS clients to generate enough NAS session load for evaluating the NAS server performance. An embodiment comprises a method for testing a NAS server comprising starting a NAS client, establishing a session between the NAS client and the NAS server, exchanging communications for the session at a network stack layer below the NAS client, terminating the NAS client, starting a second NAS client, establishing a subsequent session between the second NAS client and the NAS server, exchanging communications for the subsequent session at the network stack layer while exchanging communications for the session, and terminating the second NAS client.
