Load Testing · Middle · Question 51 of 76
The generator logs "cannot assign requested address" at high load. What is the likely cause?
- 1The server's DNS name has changed during the test
- 2The generator ran out of local ports or file descriptors
- 3The script uses a wrong IP address for the server
Show the answer
Correct answer: The generator ran out of local ports or file descriptors
Explanation
Many short connections use up ephemeral ports or the open-file limit. Tune OS limits, reuse connections, or spread load over more machines.
