texte = Hi all,I've been setting up my server(PwrMac 7100/66) and WebCat2 site anddecided to try some simulated traffic with Maxum's NetSplat.NetSplat is a small application that can simulate web client loads ofmore than 2500 connections per minute. (Like I'm going to get thatmany.)I set the client load to 60 with random delays of no more than 1 secondbetween requests. I set WebSTAR (it has 50mbs of RAM assigned to it) toa max 25 connections. The page requests in the test, included one largeGIF, one small, one straight HTML page, and one .tmpl page thatgenerates a new cart. These are randomly requested.I started the simulation and the server churned along great.Then I logged on and started to cruise the site during the test.It delivered pages a little slower than I had been seeing but not much.Then I hit the WebCat2 search .tmpl pages, I could see the servercompletely stop serving the other simulated requests. I assume, the CPUwas dedicated solely to WebCat at that point. Then when the search wascomplete, the server resumed sending pages.Back on my browser I awaited the search results. What I got was apartial page. I tried my search again, and got another partial page.I went back to WebSTAR and lowered the max connections to 9 and ran thesame NetSplat configuration with much more success but stilloccasionally got a partial page from a search request.My questions, for those who have gone before, is this...Is NetSplat a worthy indicator of high traffic problems?Is 60 clients requesting pages every half second or so heavy traffic?Is this a fair test for WebCat searches?And why the partial pages? Why not just a server busy try back later?-- Eddie SchriefferThe Creative Edge
