- Both static and dynamic files were 4.0K in size. We used such a small files to avoid saturating the network connection.
- The test was performed over a 10GBps network connection to make sure network bandwidth did not become a bottleneck.
- The benchmark simulated serving 10000 requests to 10 and 100 users.
