ms stress test/server resources ok/session timeout/log included

Hi,

Im running the MS stress test tool pointing at my webserver. I have
performance monitor running to keep an eye on webservice current connections
and well as windows resource monitor.

Im seeing 70 or so connection to my site/aspx app on iis6. At this point CPU
and RAM usage does not change (i.e 99% cpu available aand lots of ram) but
when opening a new browser session from my client to my site it times out.

Im not using the bandwidth throttle on IIS to force a per sec restriction.

Trying to figure out what is holding back performance.

Maybe im not using the stress tool correctly:
-100 threads
-2 sockets each
-1 min run
-user user/pass/cookie checked (but not required)
-save

SQL resources are steady too.

Thanks for any help.
Scott

Hi Scott,

Perhaps you are running into a limitation on the client? The client does
not have unlimited resources.

Did you try to connect to the website from another client during the test?
Did it work?
