WCAT

The Microsoft Web Capacity Analysis Tool (WCAT) runs simulated workloads on client/server configurations. Using WCAT, you can test how IIS and network configurations respond to a variety of different client requests for content or data. The results of these tests can be used to determine the optimal server and network configuration for your server. WCAT and its documentation (Wcatguide.doc) are available in the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools.
