The workload filelist used in our testing is listed below. Our web server, on average, serviced 134 error-free connections per second over Ethernet. It increases to 148 error-free connections per second over an FDDI network. In our test, there were no errors generated by the server indicating that our server can support a large number of clients. The latency time is valid only if there are no errors in the test run, as in our measurement.
Some web servers report low latency times with high error rates.
Little's Law is based on queuing theory. Little's Load Factor is a ratio of time spent talking to the web server versus time waiting for the server to respond. In a WebStone test, Little's Load Factor should be just under the number of WebStone client processes - higher is better. Test results show our server's load factor is linear to the client processes, an indication that our server behaves as a highly-scalable server should. The WebStone 1.1 benchmark itself does not report any CPU utilization on the server.
