Anyone there with a copy of ab (apachebench), and a hold of a windows
webserver ? Basically, as far as I can tell, you can make a windows
webserver have a baby if it gets more than five concurrent connections
with apachebench...
Try something like;
ab -c 20 -n 1000 http://192.168.2.2/
On a box I have here, the most I can do is:
ab -c 5 -n 1000 http://192.168.2.2/
on Windows (win2000 workstation). Padraig here reckon's it's because
windows has a short listen queue (of five), and Linux/Solaris don't have a
limit...try it on linux, and you should be able to get to three or four
hundred concurrent connections before it has trouble.
