Hi

Just a general question as to what is seen as a healthy or average number of queries per second on gateway before it will become an issue with store and forward system getting overloaded and dropping them. I know it will depend on hardware etc but just wondering what is seen as average

Thanks

Aidan

It depends immensely on the hardware powering the database server. I’ve seen systems start having issues around 200 queries/sec, but then I’ve seen other systems happily running over 1,000 queries/sec.
