*(apologies if this query is a repeat, was unable to find any detailson this) * ** *Hello All,*
I wish to request for guidance on how can we determine or record the *SSL TPS (Transactions Per Sec) *and *SSL concurrent sessions* (established sessions) for Tomcat 6.0 Web Servers. *Here's a brief background to my request;* As you would be aware SSL Root Certificates are being migrated from 1024-bit to 2048-bit RSA keys. This migration has very significant impact on the SSL handling capacity of Web Servers - migration to 2048-bit RSA keys results in appx. 5x times reduction in SSL TPS i.e. 2048-bit SSL performance will be appx. 20% of 1024-bit SSL performance. Existing clients using 1024-bit RSA keys need to know what is their peak SSL TPS no. and SSL concurrent sessions. This helps them calculate the capacity post-migration and accordingly new servers will have to be provisioned for sustaining original capacity (with 1024-bit). Alternatively if client wished to Offload-SSL on the Load Balancer or Application Delivery Controller, they require to know the current SSL TPS nos. for sizing of correct LB or ADC appliance. Tried to explore options in JMX but clients are unable to capture the requisite details. Will much appreciate if some guidance on getting the relevant details can be shared Thanks much *Sushil Chhugani*
