124728 2003-02-28 10:59:00 My boss want me to overload a new File server/Proxy to see howmany people can download at once on this connection

the setup is like so
[File Server]<----->[Proxy]<---->[100mbps fiber connection]<----->internet

he wants to find out howmany people can download at once before the Fileserver or the Proxy or the Fiber crashes or overloads

is there any way to do this? i'm thinking 100-200 people downloading at once before the proxy gives up

thanks

It's gonna take a hell of a lot of users to overload a 100mbps connection :D

124730 2003-02-28 12:04:00 yea i'm thinking the proxy will crash forst
its a Linux box 1.6ghz 512ram ... you know
he wanted to use the 10mbps backup to test it but you would need a 100mbps backup to attempt that
i was thinking DAP.exe (download accereater pluss) it uses 7 connection at once
but any ideas would be very apreciated (excuse the spelling in a hurry)

124731 2003-02-28 14:20:00 scOut,

Well if you really want us to do this, how about letting us know where to find this here fileserver, and then after we've lusted after its goodies, name a start date and time to start downloading from it!

Can we upload too?

>(excuse the spelling in a hurry)
Ah i'll remember that excuse!

124733 2003-02-28 20:06:00 Oherwise, feel free to send me an E advising when we are going to try to pull this thing down.

There are others i can rope in, but you define the rules on this one.
