-The Target Rate column specifies the target rate for clients submitting requests

-The Error column specifies the percentage of total requests that resulted in an error reported by the clients.

Further measurements indicated that the Sun SPARC Enterprise server had approximately 30% CPU idle time during peak loads of the benchmark test. Hence, it follows that the performance can be potentially increased if additional network bandwidth is made available.
