We are planning to load test a large financial web application with JMeter. We intend to utilize JMeter in distributed/master-slave mode with 15 load generators (JMeter-server) + 1 Master (JMeter GUI Client).
Based on our initial experiments with JMeter in a single instance GUI mode, we could generate between 500-700 virtual users per machine (2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP) against the web application. The final objective is to generate a concurrent load of 10000 virtual users. Hence, the need to use 15 load generators. Can JMeter successfully scale up to 15 nodes (jmeter-servers) in distributed mode? What has been your experience in using JMeter for generating such high load levels? Couple of additional questions that we have includes: - What is maximum number of load generators that can be used per Master? - What is the impact of distributed mode on network utilization? -- View this message in context: http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/Scalability-and-Stability-of-JMeter-s-Distributed-Mode-tp2852466p2852466.html Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
