Adding a socket connection
You can manually add socket connections to a socket API performance
test.
Before you begin
In a performance test, socket connection elements describe the connection to a server. A connection must exist before you can send or receive data.
Ensure that for each socket connection, there is a corresponding socket close. If not, during the test run, the operating system can run out of socket handles, causing the test to fail.
