Hi all,

In a number of sections, but specifically '7.8.3.2.  Test Equipment Configuration Parameters', there are requirements to measure with 50% of the maximum connections/ sec measured in the HTTP/S throughput tests

E.g. "Target objective for scenarios 1 and 2: 50% of the maximum connections per second measured in test scenario..."

I'm sure this 50% value is the product of much thought and discussion, rather than an arbitrary choice. Is anyone able to explain the reason for the specific '50%' value (as opposed to 25%, 75% or whatever) or could you please point to documentation around that decision made by the group?

I'm asking just to understand. I don't disagree with the decision : )

Very best wishes,
Simon
