net-benchmark 0.5.0

Network benchmarking suite for DNS, HTTP, and SSL — with DNSSEC validation, DoH/DoT support, high‑concurrency testing, and enterprise‑grade reporting.

net-benchmark

fast, extensible network benchmarking — dns, http, and ssl from a single cli.

pip install net-benchmark
pip install net-benchmark[pdf]   # with pdf export

successor to dns-benchmark-tool — fully backward compatible. dns-benchmark command still works as an alias.
