While testing with JMETER with fixed number of concurrent users, we have noticed that the number of open connections varies over time. Note that we have specified to re-use connections (i.e. keep alive = true). However, it seems that JMETER does not re-reuse connections rather close a connection and create a new connection each time This behavior is not noticed in other tools (e.g. WRK)
We were wondering why this is the case? and if there is a way to fix this issue The following are some results we get when we test with 2000 concurrent users. *ubuntu@ip-x*:*~*$ ss -tn | grep :8080 | grep ESTAB | wc -l 1710 *ubuntu@ip-x**~*$ ss -tn | grep :8080 | grep ESTAB | wc -l 2000 *ubuntu@ip-x*:*~*$ ss -tn | grep :8080 | grep ESTAB | wc -l 1900
