Results for scenario 1: IBM WebSphere Application Server internal HTTP transport
For scenario 1 the IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) application server with internal HTTP transport drives the SSL connection.
This means that secure client HTTPS requests are directed to the WAS directly. The self-signed certificate in the WAS PKCS#12 keystore was defined with a key size of 2048-bit and 4096-bit in a second measurement series, where the scaling is done over the cryptographic setups.
Note: The workload generated (number of virtual users) by the workload
driver is kept constant across all measured scenarios.
See chapter 4 for a detailed description of the System Under Test (SUT) scenarios.
