All in all I think that throughput for huge files is very good in both cases. I would expect, that most often it would be much more intersting to inspect scalability and system load (cpu/memory) for massive concurrency. When serving large files, downloads will run a long time because most often the client side of the connection is not a fat line. As a result users will add up in parallel, so one might need to serve a few thousands of users.
Yes if we could be able to determine the cpu/mem load of a tomcat instance in a tomcat group it will help construct a tru load-balancing system. Any ideas how we could grab such informations in a portable way from Java ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
