A max of 2% error and response time of Xms Some people define the limit as the response time for 90% of the requests, as in 90% of the request must be processed within 500ms. in this case, the process time is the page generation time logged on the server side. large sites do this, since users may be using a bad dial-up connection, which means the response time varies wildly. hope that helps peter On 8/17/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How does one know when a system has reached its capacity? > > For example, when I set the number of users high enough, a large portion of > the testresults in the simple data writer come back as: > response message="Non HTTP response message" > response code="Non HTTP response code" > success="false" > > 1.
