Virutal IP Configurator batch/shell files provide the ability to generate virtual clients or allocate a unique IP address for each virtual user located in the same physical machine. Assigning each virtual user with a unique IP address emulates a real world browser user simulation. This enables to place a much more realistic load on the web server to measure the performance statistics.

Note: You need to configure virtual IPs only in cases where you wish to assign unique IP to each virtual user simulated during load test. If Use unique IP for each Virtual User option in Play Settings is not selected then you can ignore this step. |
