Does anybody has already use virtual "eth" with Clif http injection ?

When i use my physical interface, everything is going right, but when i configure 1 or more virtual interface like : eth1:0, eth1:1, ... My injector stop and did not send any packets.

Well, from the HttpInjector (Isac plug-in) point of view, there is no such thing like physical or virtual network interfaces, but just client IP addresses. You just have to set a valid IP address in the last field ("Local Address") of the sample configuration panel. You may use the IPprovider plug-in to get locally configured IP addresses. I've just tried it using two aliases to inject HTTP Get requests on a remote Apache server, and it works.

A sample project is attached - you may adapt it and try it (once deployed, initialized and started, select the load injector and click on "Parameters" button to manually change the population of b virtual users to any value - or just define a load profile in the scenario itself).

Sample /etc/network/interfaces file (for Linux Debian):

iface eth0:1 inet static
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.10.255
        network 192.168.10.0
        address 192.168.10.1

iface eth0:2 inet static
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.10.255
        network 192.168.10.0
        address 192.168.10.2
