Absolutely Alex, as soon as the server goes public I'll be glad to provide
a
testimonial for MINA.


Cool thanks!

Additionally, we will be producing a rather
substantial set of load testing results and posting them online. They
include environment configurations, OS/hardware specs, etc. We are also
giving away the load tester source code we used for the application. It's
quite specific to our server but might help someone else out.


Have you had a chance to look at SLAMD?  Here's the URL just in case:

http://slamd.com

It's a nice peice of software providing several useful stats on performance
etc.  Although designed for LDAP it can work for just about anything with
some customizations.

I will say this, generating that much load takes more machines then the
server system itself.


No doubt.  I bet your server sucks wire now tho :).


It's also a tricky piece of code. Anyone making a load
generator should plan way ahead if they want it to work properly. We also
ran into some very strange problems.


Yeah that's why I recommend slamd.  It correlates the total thru-put by
correlating the data gathered from all clients.  It helps get a good
accurate estimate of just how many requests per second a server can manage.

Regards,
Alex
