[Bro] Performance testing BRO

[Randy Caldejon]

Greetings,

My company is in the process of porting ntop ( www.ntop.org )  to a  
hardware acceleration platform.  After this, we'd like to do the same  
for BRO as an experiment.

I'm curious to know if there is a standard suite of tests used to  
benchmark BRO?  Our goal is to baseline BRO on commodity hardware  
then run the same tests on the accelerated platform.  We have ideas  
on how to do this, but we're certainly open to suggestions --  
especially from those intimately familiar with BRO.

Regards,

Randy
