Hello,

I'm trying to understand what are reasonable numbers to use when running
dkftpbench.

The weppage says that by default dkftpbench's target bandwidth per
client is set at 28.8 kilobits/second. Is this still a reasonable
assumption to make today ?

I'm running dkftpbench against an ftp server connected through a
cross-over cable. The goal is to measure ftp throughput before and after
a particular automated instrumentation to the source code. dkftpbench
under this configuration always manages to reach the limit of 512
Platoon_MAXUSERS, as set in Platoon.h. However, I see through network
and CPU monitoring tools that the CPU of the server is not saturated yet
under this configuration. Is there an easy way to increase this limit ?
Simply raising the value of this variable in the source code to support
more users reports segmentation faults of dkftpbench.

Looking over other messages in this mailing list I see people reporting
generating load in the order of thousands of requests[1]. Is there
something I'm missing ?

Thanks for any help,
Kristis
