In
Silk Performer, expand the
Profiles node in the
Project tree.
Right-click the profile that you want to configure and choose
Edit Profile.
Tip: Alternatively, you can choose
Settings
> Active Profile from the menu bar.
The
Profile - [<profile name>] dialog box opens, and the
Replay category is displayed in the shortcut list on the left.
In the shortcut list, click the
Internet icon.
Click the
Optimization tab.
From the
Optimize network settings for list box, select the type of simulation for
Silk Performer and WinSock buffers.
This setting determines the size of the buffers that are used to transfer data both to and from the server. Large buffers
provide good performance; however,
Silk Performer needs more memory to achieve this performance. Small buffers may be useful on driver machines with less memory. Note that,
when using modem simulation, small buffers create more realistic simulation.
Check the
Client IP address multiplexing check box to enable IP address multiplexing.
Note: To assign individual IP addresses to virtual users, you first have to set up multiple IP addresses for the network device.
You do this using the
Silk Performer System Configuration Manager. Following that, you can assign each of the IP addresses to a different virtual user.
Check the
Passive FTP semantics
check box to enable passive FTP semantics, which may be useful when connecting through firewalls or proxies.
This option only affects FTP data transfers.
In the
Connect attempts text box, enter how often a simulated user is to attempt to connect to the server before an error is reported.
In the
Connect timeout text box, specify for how long a simulated user is to attempt to connect to the server before a timeout is reported.
In the
Send timeout text box, specify for how long the simulated user is to attempt to send data to the server before a timeout is reported.
In the
Receive timeout text box, specify for how long the simulated user is to attempt to receive data from the server before a timeout is reported.
