Re: Apache Concurrent Users

I am doing a benchmark of IIS Vs Apache using QALoad.

I have following question for u all -

1) How many concurrent users and apache 2.0.59 for windows support with the default configuration?

2) What are the parameters I can tweak to support maximum concurrent users on single apache (2.0.59 for windows) box?

3) How many concurrent user I can support on IIS 6 with default settings?

4) What are the parameters to tweak IIS configuration to support maximum concurrent users.

Note - I am doing a benchmark considering that I am hitting a static page.

Appreciate for any reference / pointer.


I fail to see how this is related to pentesting.  Perhaps it isn't too
much of a stretch to bring the discussion around to the topic of DoS
attacks against these servers, but your post doesn't even allude to that.
