Upload (20 MB)

The Upload profile measures how efficiently a framework handles large request body ingestion. Each request sends a 20 MB binary payload and the server returns the byte count.

Connections: 64, 256, 512

How it works

1. The load generator sends POST /upload with a 20 MB binary body using a pre-built raw request file
2. The server reads the entire request body
3. Returns the total number of bytes received as plain text

What it measures

• Request body ingestion throughput — reading large payloads from the network
• Memory management — buffering 20 MB per concurrent request
• I/O handling efficiency — how the framework manages sustained large transfers
• Connection overhead — at 20 MB per request, connection setup/teardown is significant

Expected response

POST /upload HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 20971520

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain

20971520

Parameters

Notes

• I/O is the primary bottleneck — body ingestion dominates request handling time
• Lower connection counts are used because each request transfers 20 MB
• The load generator’s bandwidth metric only measures response data (~8 bytes), not the uploaded payload
