Endpoint Client Simulators

The load generators used for this test are VMs that are running the endpoint simulator tool. This tool is a slim endpoint client that mimics the communication with the endpoint server and can simulate large numbers of endpoint clients on a single machine, running on top of a regular endpoint client installation. The simulator uses the same executables used by a real endpoint clients so it is always up to date with the tested endpoint version.

In addition, the simulator is used to inject DLP incidents in the same fashion as real endpoints do. Using this tool, it is possible to control the number of simulated clients and the rate in which those are created. Incident injection rate can also be arbitrarily determined.

During all tests, F1E version 21.9.5173.1 was used on the endpoint client simulator VMs.
