iRules, CPU, and breaking the world
Hi all!
I can't believe I'm about to ask this question; I've been looking most of today and wouldn't you know it, pretty much every single bit of iRule design and engineering, from the rules themselves down to the guts of the engine, have to do with making them consume as little CPU as possible. So that makes this even weirder:
I have to find a way to make an iRule eat the system. Like, not in a small way. I need to make one that's deliberately broken to cause both a CPU0 overload, and a total system overload, to drive both utilizations, independently, to 100%. It's for a set of monitoring tests that are kind of untried, but need validation.
How could one accomplish this? Thanks!
