On Linux, I'm not sure... I suspect you don't have to do anything special. On Windows, it depends on the OS, but the changes are similar. Mostly, you need to update the registry to change "the "MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER" and "MAXCONNECTIONSPER1_0SERVER" settings to allow for a lot more outbound TCP connections. Also on Win 7 (perhaps Vista as well), you need to increase the "MaxUserPort" beyond the default.
If you are on a 'server' OS (Win2003, Win2008, etc.), you probably don't need to make this change. But on the XP, and Win Vista or Win 7 versions, you will need to do it. Just google those settings, and read the info about the registration hacks you will need. I created a '.reg' file for our Win7 systems, so I paste its contents here - in case you have a Win7 box. You can save the below to a file, then go into Registry Editor and 'Import' the file if you like. It sets all of the 'max connection' values to 2000, and the maxuserport value to 65534 (which is the max possible value). DON'T USE THIS FILE WITH OTHER VERSIONS OF WINDOWS - IT WON'T WORK FOR ANYTHING BUT WIN7. Also, if you have already edited these settings, I believe this will overwrite them. So you would probably just want to manually add stuff from this. Lastly, these changes would not be appropriate for an 'end-user' machine, only for a load-testing machine where you are running less than 2000 simultaneous threads. -------------------------CUT HERE------------------------ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPER1_0SERVER] "explorer.exe"=dword:00000800 "iexplore.exe"=dword:00000800 "firefox.exe"=dword:00000800 "chrome.exe"=dword:00000800 "java.exe"=dword:00000800 "javaw.exe"=dword:00000800 "ApacheJMeter.jar"=dword:00000800 "sllauncher.exe"=dword:00000800 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER] "explorer.exe"=dword:00000800 "iexplore.exe"=dword:00000800 "firefox.exe"=dword:00000800 "chrome.exe"=dword:00000800 "java.exe"=dword:00000800 "javaw.exe"=dword:00000800 "ApacheJMeter.jar"=dword:00000800 "sllauncher.exe"=dword:00000800 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters] "MaxUserPort"=dword:0000fffe ------------------------------------CUT HERE------------------------------ -- Robin D.
