just for clarification. is you're intent to simulate 1. requests per second 2. concurrent users 3. concurrent requests
if you're trying to simulate 200, 400, 600 users, the equivalent requests/second is going to be no more than 1/4 of the total count. In other words. 200 users - max 50 concurrent requests 400 users - max 100 concurrent requests 600 users - max 150 concurrent requests in this case, a 2.4 ghz system can easily generate that load. you can look at my benchmark results for tomcat 5.5.4 with 100, 150, 200 concurrent requests for reference. http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/articles/benchmark_summary.pdf if you're testing pages that are 1k and smaller, than I you will need 2 or more jmeter clients running. hope that helps peter On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 14:28:53 -0500, Nathan J.
