But why would they be measuring IIS and tweaking web servers like Apache if all they are doing is measuring connections acknowledged? Thats an OS thing!

Looks to me like it's the number of requests acknowledged, not served. What I don't understand is how a single real-world client could possibly generate more than 100,000 requests per second, unless it's engaged in a DOS attack or something similar. (???) Maybe I'm wrong, but it appears to be somewhat contrived. -jdr- Lee Chin wrote: > > If you look at the graph at the bottom of the page, they say that their > windows 2000 box can perform over 1 million requests per second with IIS! > > http://www.zdnet.co.uk/pcmag/ne/2000/11/01.html > > Now, I may be naive in my math (and if so I need to know why) but on a > machine that has a 100 Mbps card, if I serve 1 million pages in one second, > that means my page size (web page Im serving) is > > 100000000 (ie. 100 Mb) / 1 Million = ~ 13 bytes > > So if they are saying they did 1 million requests per second on a 100 Mbps > connection, then that means their web pages were 13 bytes long.... > > Are they nuts or am I interpreting the graph wrong? > > Thanks > Lee ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
