What does SPECweb2005 measure?
Each SPECweb2005 benchmark workload (SPECweb2005_Banking, SPECweb2005_Ecommerce, and SPECweb2005_Support) measures the maximum number of simultaneous user sessions that a web server is able to support while still meeting specific throughput and error rate requirements. The TCP connections for each user session are made and sustained at a specified maximum bit rate with a maximum segment size intended to more realistically model conditions that will be seen on the Internet during the lifetime of this benchmark.
