Outbound web performance measurements

["Ivan ." <ivanhec () gmail com>]

Hi

I recently implemented a new content filtering internal system. This
system does URL filtering, AV, anti-spyware and other content
checking, but I am looking at doing is setting a periodical test that
goes out to the Internet, pull some content down and record the
relevant metrics.


PC------------>Proxy----------->FW------------------>Internet---------------->Site-with-content


Some sort of scheduled process on a PC, that pulls down some static
content from the same website, which is repeatable. The application
would then record metrics such as speed, time taken to download the
static content and log that.

I have been digging on this site
http://www.opensourcetesting.org/performance.php looking at tools that
are available, but I would appreciate any info if anyone has down
something similar.

Thanks
Ivan
