user count / rampup time loop relationship - please help

[Pugal Panneer <pu...@email.com>]

Hi,

I have thread group set to 10 (users) 120 (ramp up time)  2 (loop).=20
Expected behavior based on this setting is 1 user submits a request every
6 seconds and at the end of 2 minutes, I would have 20 users submitted
the requests. But the actual behavior I am seeing the client requests are
getting submitting every 1 / 2 seconds apart sometimes and sometimes 7
seconds apart but all 20 requests gets submitted approximately within 2
minutes.

Question:

What is the relationship of loop count to total # of users and ramp-up
time?  I am starting jmeter using remote start and my test plans and
config files are remote server machine.

Please help.

Thanks

pugal

  To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:


  They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request,

  The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
  their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.

  You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
