Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / networks, telecoms
German term or phrase: Blindlast
Something used to check the load-bearing capacity of a telecommunications or computer network, as far as I can gather.

Source sentence: "Zugriffsversuche auf die Netzwerkinfrastruktur, Port-Scans, Erzeugen von Blindlast (zu Testzwecken) oder andere Aktivitäten, die nicht dem reinen Administrationszweck entsprechen, sind untersagt"
