-m 'foo' -m 'bar' is one way. --message-file <filename1> --message-file <filename2> is another way.

You can randomize input somewhat by using \{connection.id % 100} expressions right in the -m and within the files.

But yes, tcpkali can do simple randomizations, but does not support full-blown scripting. For that, consider using http://github.com/machinezone/mzbench or other alternatives.

You are correct. But in FP, we understand immutability differently, so it becomes very painful to watch structural equivalence of the following variables:

class Foo { var x = 0 }

let a = [Foo(), Foo(), Foo()]

var b = a

a[0].x = 1

var c = b // [0].x == 1 ;(

let d = a // [0].x == 1 ;(

I recognize an expert when a careful choice of tools that he uses allows him to experience crashes when visiting random websites.

Today I learned that even HN trolls may not always understand a concept of trolling.

It was indeed a joke.

MIBs are not ASN.1, actually.
