[users@httpd] About ab (or ab2) output

Hi to all!

I need help to understand the ab output. I tried a lot of associations
to the values but I always get an inconsistency :(

Below, is an example of output:

##########################################################################
$ /usr/bin/time ab -n 1 -c 1 http://localhost/

I would like to understand the values "Time taken for tests", "Time
per request (mean)" and "Time per request (mean, across all concurrent
requests)".

1-) I did think that "Time taken for tests" was the runtime of ab, but
isn't (See the "time" output). What's the meaning of "Time taken for
tests"??

2-) What's the meaning of [ms]? It's miliseconds?

3-) What's the relation linking "Time per request" and "Time taken for
tests"? If I run the ab with 1 request and 1 concurrency level, these
values don't must to be equal?

4-) What's the relation linking "Time per request (mean)" and "Time
per request (mean, across all concurrent requests)"?

Thank you for atention,
Best regards,
