[Kishore Bhamare](https://blog.e-zest.com/author/kishore-bhamare) Jan 07, 2019 [apache](https://blog.e-zest.com/topic/apache) [JMeter](https://blog.e-zest.com/topic/jmeter) [Apache Jmeter](https://blog.e-zest.com/topic/apache-jmeter) - - - - The rise of the smartphone and easy connectivity to the internet has made access to information easier with most of them accessing websites and web applications from their smartphones. The performance of these mobile sites could vary depending on the fluctuations in the networks. Very often users face issue while accessing the web application on their mobile devices. This is the reason why telecom network related scenarios should be taken into consideration while doing performance testing where different network bandwidths are tested. In Apache JMeter, we can simulate network bandwidth very easily. Following are the steps to simulate network bandwidth: - Open ‘jmeter.properties’ file in notepad (location: apache-jmeter/bin) - Search ‘cps’ (characters per second) you will find - Change cps value as per your need cps = rb\*128 (rb= Required Bandwidth) Network bandwidth cps value Mobile data GPRS : 171 kbit/s 21888 Mobile data EDGE : 384 kbit/s 49152 Mobile data HSPA : 14,4 Mbp/s 1843200 Mobile data HSPA+ : 21 Mbp/s 2688000 Mobile data DC-HSPA+ : 42 Mbps 5376000 Mobile data LTE : 150 Mbp/s 19200000 WIFI 802.11a/g : 54 Mbit/s 6912000 WIFI 802.11n : 600 Mbit/s 76800000 Ethernet LAN ; 10 Mbit/s 1280000 Fast Ethernet : 100 Mbit/s 12800000 Gigabit Ethernet : 1 Gbit/s 128000000 10 Gigabit Ethernet : 10 Gbit/s 1280000000 100 Gigabit Ethernet : 100 Gbit/s 12800000000 WAN modems V.92 modems : 56 kbit/s 7168 ADSL : 8 Mbit/s 1024000 ADSL2 : 12 Mbit/s 1536000 ADSL2+ : 24 Mbit/s 3072000 - Save the file and restart JMeter - Example if you want to simulate 1000 kbps speed for the test then cps = 10000 \* 128 cps = 128000 If you want to set a bandwidth while executing in non GUI mode, below command can be useful - jmeter -httpclient.socket.http.cps= -n -t In a distributed mode, you can set a different bandwidth for each remote engine by specifying your desired ‘cps’ value in the user.properties file to run the test cases. - - - ### Similar Blog [![Apache vs Nginx](https://blog.e-zest.com/hubfs/apache-vs-ngnix.png) Apache vs Nginx Today, the two most amazing open source servers, Apache HTTP and Nginx are ruling the internet world.
