We have refrained ourselves from creating load tests towards external instances, but it is more common than not beacon nodes to be hosted by the same entity as the charon node. It would be nice if there is load test towards it, as the beacon node is usually a performance bottle neck upon scaling the number of validators.
🛠️ Proposed solution
[x] Create a relay ping RTT load test included in charon test beacon command
[x] Add a custom flag to enable it (disabled by default)
🎯 Problem to be solved
