Hi Chandrashekhar,
I hate to sound harsh but these questions are easily answered by
standing up an Apache and IIS 6.0 and looking at the configuration. In
any event, concurrent connections for sites hosted by IIS are configured
on a site-by-site basis. When a site is created, by default it supports
an unlimited number of concurrent connections. As far as Apache is
concerned off the top of my head I can't remember the number of default
concurrent connections. I am not sure how you are testing, but keep in
mind that if you are testing IIS or Apache boxes behind a firewall your
results might not be as accurate because most firewalls will have a
limit on concurrent connections from the same IP address.
Hope that helps,
Ryan

Hi,
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.
Thanks in advance
