Are you sure that both server machines can generate the same load on their own? It would be worth checking. Also, try running the tests using non-GUI mode and then combining the throughput calculations. I think it's unlikely that using 2 remote servers instead of 1, but with the same load would cause problems for client-server mode, however it's worth checking. > -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.
