I see. So both start at the same time but elapsed time also includes the following? >>> "Christensen, Alan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/17/06 7:00 PM >>> Latency is the time at which the first byte of the html page gets received by jmeter. After that point in time several TCP/IP segments may be required to actually download the entire page. These segments may require acknowledgements which would introduce additional network delays before the page is fully received. In addition, the bandwidth of the "last mile" will typically limit the speed at which the rest of the page gets delivered. The latency time is typically a better measure of system response time than the total response time. This is especially true of large pages where the network component of the response time can easily dominate the user response time. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks Christiaan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
