Hey David, I've used both. Its not much to compare :). If you understand the Constant Throughput Timer, then you understand both and it's easy to see that its major limitation is that it holds (if possible) the throughput constant at the value you define (which was the intent). However if you

2011-10-10 Thread David Luu
I was wondering if anybody has used both, and wonder how they compare. Pros/cons of each. And how one could best simulate the Throughput Shaping Timer with the constant throughput timer via variable/property that defines the throughput and changing it during test run. Particularly how would you
