IOS SLB maximum connections

[UTVi-NetAdmin]

Hi,

New to this Forum, at least. Apologies if this is not appropriate for SLB questions...

We have a standard IOS SLB setup with 2 x Cisco3725's running HSRP. IOS SLB setup for a few servers on private LAN. They're running www, ftp, https.

We have a customer who needs figures for maximum connections supported for www, for example.

We currently monitor the basic's(bandwidth :) ) via MRTG.

Has anyone an idea how we would go about trying to estimate max xonnections for our setup. Are there general scalability guidelines on CCO?

Thanks,

Mark

The Cisco IOS Server Load Balancing (SLB) feature is a Cisco IOS-based solution that provides server load balancing. This feature allows you to define a virtual server that represents a cluster of real servers, known as a server farm. When a client initiates a connection to the virtual server, the IOS SLB load balances the connection to a chosen real server, depending on the configured load-balance algorithm or predictor. To monitor HTTP access you could use the HTTP proble feature that is supported with IOS server load balancing. For more information refer to the following document.
