11.2.9. Reference: Measurement Result of Load Balancer Performance

  • Performance measurement data of a Load Balancer (NetScaler VPX) conducted by Service Provider are as follows.

  • The maximum value for each measurement item was measured. That is, simultaneous measurements of the maximum values of all performance items were not conducted.

  • Regarding the number of session, there is restriction for Virtual Server on which will be installed Load Balancer(NetScaler VPX). Please refer to Service Description of Virtual Server.

  • As for configuration, a redundant configuration was employed.

  • In the load balancing setting, protocol is specified at the service registration. With NetScaler VPX, process optimization in accordance with the protocol will be performed when the protocol is specified. It may give better throughput compared with the case of no protocol specification.

  • The verification result here is to be used just for reference. Please note that assurance of the performance is not intended with the result.
