Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP6 Performance Tuning, Sizing, and Scaling Guide

Static Content Test

This test was performed with static download of a randomly selected file from a pool of 400 directories, each containing 100 files ranging in size from 5 KB to 250 KB. Tests were done with the file cache configured to include all files in the directories. The goal of static content tests was to identify the maximum number of conforming connections the server could handle. A conforming connection is one that operates faster than 320 Kbps (kilobits per second).

Simultaneous connections: 1500
