Thanks for your answer. > If there is always a response, why not send the request, and then wait for the response?
Unfortunately, that would limit my concurrent number of requests to the number of sampling threads. And I want much more. Ex: what if I want to simulate 200 concurrent requests made by 3 client threads? That's why I'm thinking about to make my request sampler not waiting for response, returning a SampleResult related to the sending of request. At the same time, I can build another SampleResult related to the response that I just start in this sampler. Then, a new "response" sampler could just wait for responses and ending the SampleResult initiated in the request sample, for instance, by sharing a Map of SampleResult as a variable between them. I've actually seen this kind of discussion in the history of the mailing-list but there has been no follow-up...

If there is always a response, why not send the request, and then wait for the response?
