mqtt-malaria

Uses multi-process publishing with the -P flag to mimic hundreds or thousands of separate MQTT clients concurrently, as demonstrated in examples simulating 500 processes.

Supports fixed-size, Gaussian-distributed message sizes, and timing-instrumented payloads for flight time tracking, allowing varied and realistic test scenarios.

Allows setting target messages per second with the -T flag, enabling simulation of real-world device behavior and controlled load generation.

Provides per-client and aggregate metrics including success rates, mean/stddev timing, and messages per second, as evidenced in the verbose example outputs with timing data.
