## Load Testing

### Stress Test Example

```rust
#[test]
fn stress_test_10k_nodes() {
    let mut topology = NetworkTopology::new();

    let start = Instant::now();
    for i in 0..10_000 {
        topology.register_node(&format!("node-{}", i), &[0.5, 0.3, 0.2]);
    }
    let duration = start.elapsed();

    println!("10K nodes registered in {:?}", duration);
    assert!(duration < Duration::from_millis(500));
}
```

### Concurrency Test Example

```rust
#[test]
fn concurrent_processing() {
    let rt = Runtime::new().unwrap();

    rt.block_on(async {
        let mut handles = vec![];

        for _ in 0..100 {
            handles.push(tokio::spawn(async {
                // Simulate 100 concurrent workers
                // Each processing 100 tasks
            }));
        }

        futures::future::join_all(handles).await;
    });
}
```

## Interpreting Results

### Latency Ranges

| ns/iter Range | Grade | Performance |
|---------------|-------|-------------|
| < 1,000 | A+ | Excellent (sub-microsecond) |
| 1,000 - 10,000 | A | Good (low microsecond) |
| 10,000 - 100,000 | B | Acceptable (tens of µs) |
| 100,000 - 1,000,000 | C | Needs work (hundreds of µs) |
| > 1,000,000 | D | Critical (millisecond+) |

### Throughput Calculation

```
Throughput (ops/sec) = 1,000,000,000 / ns_per_iter

Example:
- 847 ns/iter → 1,180,637 ops/sec
- 12,450 ns/iter → 80,321 ops/sec
- 523,678 ns/iter → 1,909 ops/sec
```

## Continuous Monitoring

### Metrics to Track

1. **Latency Percentiles**
   - P50 (median)
   - P95, P99, P99.9 (tail latency)

2. **Throughput**
   - Operations per second
   - Tasks per second
   - Transactions per second

3. **Resource Usage**
   - CPU utilization
   - Memory consumption
   - Network bandwidth

4. **Scalability**
   - Performance vs. node count
   - Performance vs. transaction history
   - Performance vs. pattern count

### Performance Alerts

Set up alerts for:
- Operations exceeding 1ms (critical)
- Operations exceeding 100µs (warning)
- Memory growth beyond expected bounds
- Throughput degradation >10%
