You can use the following information as a guide for estimating the load capacity of the Host On-Demand 8 Redirector on AIX. Actual numbers may vary, depending on the following factors: hardware, network traffic, server load, and the frequency of session establishment.
We used the following hardware and network specifications on an isolated test network:
Connection type | Recommended number of users |
SSL | 10,000 |
On average, the Redirector established 13 connections per second. Each established connection then started a new transaction (data sent) 1/10 of a second after the previous transaction ended (data received).
Set the following parameters in the sample service manager shell script:
Parameter | Description |
ulimit -n | Controls the number of open file descriptors. |
-Xms | Minimum memory parameter for Java. It must be greater than 256 MB. |
