| Test Type | Ultimate Stress Test (2500 VUs) |
| Duration | ~6 minutes 15 seconds |
| Total Iterations | 175,803 |
| Throughput | 470 req/s |
| Data Received | 2.9 GB (7.7 MB/s) |
| Failed Requests | 688 (0.39%) connection timeouts |
☠️ Absolute Boundaries Found — Around 2000-2500 active concurrent connections, the socket pools start failing to dial.
✅ Still mostly standing — Despite 688 connection failures, the server successfully served 175,121 requests cleanly (99.6% success).
🚀 Sustained Heavy Throughput — Maintained ~470 requests per second and 7.7 MB/sec data output consistently for minutes.
⚠️ Conclusion — Pushing past 2,000 VUs triggers maximum capacity protection. The server drops packets rather than crashing outright. This is exactly what you want it to do.
