• SUT: a system configured as a Web server • Client(s): one or more client systems to act as controller (prime client) or load drivers for SPECweb2005 • Backend Simulator (BeSim) system: an independent, client-class Web server system connected to both the prime client and the system under test (SUT). The BeSim software is installed on this Web server as either FastCGI, NSAPI, or ISAPI. • Network: Clients running the specwebclient code must be able to connect to the SUT and the prime client; the prime client (running specweb) and SUT must be able to connect to all systems, including the BeSim system(s).

A13: SPECweb96 is designed to drive the Web server from a number of other client systems. The number of client systems needed will depend on the performance of the Web server, as well as the capabilities of available clients. The local-area network (LAN) is a very important component of Web server performance. Care should be taken not to overload any part of the LAN, including any hubs, switches, or the LAN segments themselves. The need for an effective LAN configuration might determine the number of client systems required for a high level of performance.
