Ok, to take a good example:
In our VS-DR setup, using 64k html pages, our 100Mb switch is clearly
the bottleneck, cause it seems to have a 100Mb backbone, ie: serving
to multiple clients still totals 9Mbyte/s, thus 150 reques/s
The other bottleneck (using 64 byte pages) is not clear yet, but
probably has to do with delays etc... Tuning the webserver definetaly
helps to get > 2200 requests/s with 4 servers of which one is a
loadbalancer... (throuhput of about 500kbytes/s).
