Abstract: Load testing is one of the main tools used to measure parameters and determine computer systembehavior under operating conditions. Constant development and extension of computer systems lead to the load increase to maintain normal condition. As the resources of a single computer are not enough to create that amount of load, there are different methods to reach that amount of load using distributed computing.This article presents the experiment results to determine load capability limits for a single computer system and factors affecting them.

Keywords: load testing, load capability, processing time of a packet by operating system.
