Hi all, it's me again :D
I am still trying to improve my company's webapp performance. I'm testing it
with httperf and autobench. The application seems to be able to respond when
hammered by 20 connections per second and 10 calls per connection. But then,
it doesn't respond to any request when the connection rate is raised to 40
(with 10 calls per connection) and above.
What does the apache treats as a request (hence forks another child)?
- every new connection, or
- every http request regardless of it comes with a new connection or comes
through an existing connection
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
My only guess is because the connections goes over the MaxClients count
while the existing apache children are still processing the previous
requests. But why, then, none of the requests after 40 conn/sec is
responded?
I'll give more detail if requested.
THANKS A LOT!!!
