Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for peak event testing. The systems and methods enable spoofing a network address (such as a subnet or an IP address) for DNS queries during testing, thereby causing the DNS resolver to return a point of presence (POP) that is location-optimized for the spoofed client. Spoofing the DNS query can diversify the CDN PoPs used during testing without requiring a CDN to make any changes.
