When conducting performance testing, companies with load management software for multiple servers don't know which virtual user is hitting what server. By assigning each virtual user with a unique IP address, you can track the performance of each virtual user and hence really pinpoint the bottleneck to an individual server.
Here's why, by tracking virtual users by IP addresses you can assure that load management configurations are optimized for multiple servers.
Quotium Technologies QuotiumPRO lets you create many different IP addresses. You would use QuotiumPRO's IP Generator to create virtual IP Addresses. The IP Generator gives you the ability to set the number of IP addresses and range of IP Addresses. You can also add or remove IP addresses for each network adaptor.
Another reason for spoofing IP addresses is in the case of applications that identifying users by IP address. Some applications will find access rights to a user based on the IP address.
