Network server performance when communicating with a great number of clients

The aim is to create a simulation system between two computers of the server-client type to generace the process to server while usany UDP protocol: to set different parameters of the generated process (size of paquet, interval of sending) and evaluace the server-sources consumption (memory), to work out the outcomes in a well-organized manner. There have been tested two servers (each of different output) and operational systéme Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Linux Mandriva 8.0 and Linux Fedora 7, each of these had been installed on the servers with different outputs. The generated process is carried out with usaje of the paquet generator made in the programming language C++.Two different programmes needed have been created, one of them for klient(paquet generation in OS Windows), its aim is to generate the paquets, the sekond on efor server (functional version working in OS Linux had had to be made) receiving the generated paquets. Evaulation of the source-consumption was carried out by two monitoring programs, one of them suited for OS Windows, the other for OS Linux. Both programs safe the information about procesor-work and operational memory into a text dokument which is very simple and fast way for searching the information. The measured values show charts and graphs that express the efficiency of separate OSs or, in case of need, servers of different outputs are able to handle the generated paquets and how do the alterations of the paquet generator affect the source efficiency( paquet size and paquet-sending interval)
