LoadGen clarification - How to specify different weight for different attachments under Configuration File
I'm using Microsoft LoadGen to simulate sending multiple mails containing attachment through Exchange server. Setup is working perfectly.
I've a requirement to send some x% of a particular attachment type (say word), y % of other attachment type (say presentation) and z % of some other attachment type ( say spreadsheets).
To achieve the requirement I've modified Attachment parameter under configuration file. But am NOT able to specify the percentages to use the attachment. We've a parameter as 'Weight' but am not able to understand the behavior.
I've pasted few lines from XML configuration file
--------------------------------------------------------------
< AttachmentParameters
>
< AttachFrequency
> 100 </ AttachFrequency
>
- < AttachmentCount
>
< MinimumCount
> 1 </ MinimumCount
>
< MaximumCount
> 4 </ MaximumCount
>
< AverageCount
> 2 </ AverageCount
>
</ AttachmentCount >
< PercentInfected
> 0 </ PercentInfected
