LDAP-UX Integration Performance and Tuning Guidelines

Appendix C Sample Client Data
The following table represents the number of name service requests generated by a single “typical” client. This data
was collected over a 24-hour period on production systems in the LDAP-UX development lab at HP. We should
aspect more data cached if we have ldapclientd cache daemon running.

Requests per 10 minutes
Maximum requests in 10 minute period: 196
Estimate maximum requests per second: 0.326667
Average requests per second: 0.103843
Formula for max clients per server:
(DirMarkSearchPerf/3.5) / (MaxReqPerSec * SafetyMargin)
Safety margin used above is 2.
