Hi PeterJ, Thanks for the reply. The load testing happened on a single day for three hours from 6PM to 9PM. There was no period of inactivity and it was carried out for 20 users. There were 100 odd connections that were created by the time the testing started. These observations were made the next morning. Thank you for the observation that connection count would change because of the idle time. I would take the statistics again, this time just after the testing completes.
