Description

DNS Shotgun is a high-performance DNS benchmarking tool designed to simulate realistic client behavior. It supports multiple transport protocols, including DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ), DNS-over-TLS (DoT), DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), UDP, and TCP. By establishing individual connections for each simulated client, it closely mimics real-world traffic patterns, making it ideal for evaluating DNS resolver performance under various conditions.
