If you want to scale your application servers horizontally then you will need to keep your session size below about 4k. After 4k the sessions start to become to much to manage across servers and the session traffic between servers becomes a huge performance hit.

Best I know is... 1 - Does anyone know how big is the session storage used internally by the server? Any thing you add is additional % that. 2 - I guess the more expensive your web-server the more efficient it's storage management would be. Ditto more expensive hardware. 3 - I'd expect these to be constantly improving. 4 - You'd have to bench mark your own configuration. 5 - If you are on Websphere on OS/390 storage should be effectively infinite & free - so no worries!! --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Are there published guidelines as to the number and size of objects that are > stored in the session?
