Note: The following protocols are directly supported by
Silk Performer and do not require the types of customizations that are described in this section. Protocols not listed below, including
so called
legacy systems, do require script customization:
- TN3270
- TN5250
- VT100
- VT200+
All of the protocols discussed in this section are based on TCP/IP. With
Silk Performer, you can record protocols at the TCP level and customize the resulting scripts using
WebTcpip functions. With
Silk Performer enhanced TCP/IP support, TrueLog Explorer, and rule-based recording, the process is straightforward.
This section has two objectives:
- To take you through the process of analyzing recorded custom TCP/IP traffic and give you the generic tools and methodology
you need to customize such traffic.
- To analyze two protocols in-depth: Telnet and TN3270e.
Memory Usage of TCP/IP Virtual Users
Each virtual user running in its own process requires approximately 1.6 MB system memory.
Running more than one user per process results in the following memory consumption:
- 25 vusers: Approx. 0.2 MB per vuser
- 50 vusers: Approx. 0.1 MB per vuser
