Hi all,

I built squid using SSL-bump. In addition, squid also authenticates users
with active directory. The hardware is openstack virtual. os is centos8.1.
There is one CPU. The memory is 16GB. The hard disk is SSD 200GB.

I'm thinking of load testing with Apache Jmeter in this environment.
I don't know the standard, so the test stops and I am in trouble.
How many simultaneous connection sessions?
How many requests per minute?
Help me.

thank you,
Kitamura
