performance
 

hi,
when I try to make a performance test with ab server gives an error I use an index file of 8MB sized, the error is below, anybody here knows with which configuration can I overcome this error.

[root@ns lws]# /home/w2/bin/ab -n 10000 -c 50 -k http://192.168.75.128:8088/

Looks like it was being throttled.
Please make sure "Per client limit" is configured properly for your test, when you do performance test from one client machine, you should turn off per client bandwidth and request throttling, increase the "soft" and "hard" connection limit. Those configurations are under "Server"->"security" tab.
