All I see related to this on that page is "*Throughput * is calculated as requests/unit of time. The time is calculated from the start of the first sample to the end of the last sample. This includes any intervals between samples."
What I don't understand is why the throughput would be drastically different between 4 threads spread over 2 machines vs 4 threads on a single machine (and moreover data that doesn't make sense whenever I have > 1 machine) -Josh sebb wrote: > http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/glossary.html may help > > On 06/12/2007, Joshua Auerbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I am encountering some strange behavior when looking at the throughput >> column of the summary report with multiple remote machines.
