WebStone is an open benchmark proposal to the server industry. It is
|
|
designed to measure the performance of HTTP servers under multiple
|
|
scenarios which reflect different Web site profiles.
|
|
|
|
The original WebStone benchmark was released in March, 1995. The original
|
|
white paper describing this benchmark is available from
|
|
http://www.sgi.com/Products/WebFORCE/WebStone/.
|
|
|
|
WebStone is not a proprietary benchmark - it is an open benchmark. The
|
|
source code is freely available, and anyone can examine it. By design,
|
|
WebStone does not unfairly favor SGI, Netscape, or any other company - it
|
|
is simply a performance measurement tool.
|
|
|
|
This FreeBSD port rely on rsh and rcp being allowed for the user proces
|
|
running webstone between the web server and web clients. This is not
|
|
enable per default in FreeBSD, and root is never allowed to do it without
|
|
entering password for each operation.
