**All total 6 Java load generator interfaces were configured on the E2900 client at the 1200-1205 ports for all IMAP and SMTP users, 1 Java load generator instance was configured on the 1100 port for the SMTP sink. Following Java options were used for all the load generators:
**** java -d64 -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -XX:+AggressiveHeap
The Benchmark runs through a private network between the Load Generators and the SUT via a Gigabit Ethernet Switch
