General Notes / Tuning Information
*Following are the OS Tunings only for all the Servers and Clients, not any installation steps
**set rlim_fd_max=1048576: Hard limit on the open file descripters for a single process
**set autoup=36000000: Controls the frequency in seconds of entire physical memory to be scanned for dirty pages
**set tune_t_fsflushr=600: Reduces fsflush daemon overhead
**set rlim_fd_cur=1048576: Defines a "soft" limit on file descriptors that a single process can have open
*Following are the NETWORK Configurations and Tunings
**All the network connections and the routing are resolved using UNIX host file

**All total 5 Java load generator instances were configured on the E2900 Client at the 1200-1204 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 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
