Hi Philipp, I am afraid I have no results to contribute at this moment, but I will :-)
By TCP/IP stack and File I/O implementations I was referring to the internal implementation of these subsystems in each OS. Typically, Linux and Solaris have more robust and performant implementations of TCP/IP than Windows 2000 Pro or XP, as the latter are more workstation-oriented while the former are more server-oriented. With a few rare exceptions, specifying the OS you are giving enough information about the TCP/IP implementation. The File I/O subsystem is different. The performance profile will depend on the filesystem and the Operating System. In Windows you may find FAT32 and NTFS filesystems, in Linux you can have a lot of possibilities, and other OSs have their own propietary filesystems. All of them have different performance/robustness characteristics. Axis2 has a wiki, and I suppose we could use it, at least for setting up a starting point and/or for the first results. Of course, if more people join us, and we collect lots of results, a wiki will not be the correct tool. You can find a link to the wiki in the Axis2 home page left menu. Back to the benchmark, I think there are a few more scenarios to take into account (this is, for a general benchmark): * Test the impact of other specifications: * WS-SecureConversation * WS-ReliableMessage * Client sends "Hello" --> Server returns attachment * Attachment echo * On-the-fly generation (instead of file reading) * On-the-fly process (instead of file writing) * Stress testing (multiple concurrent clients) Does any of these scenarios make sense to you?
