Oracle Audio Technologies A86828-01 - Manual (Page 9)

Preface
Audience
This guide is written for Oracle Internet Application Server 8i developers and
system administrators who are responsible for configuring and tuning the Oracle
HTTP Server powered by Apache.
Assumptions
There are many sources of information on configuring and tuning web servers,
Apache in particular. This guide refers to those sources when expedient, and, where
practical, quantifies the performance gains resulting from configuration actions
found in those sources. Any recommendations not validated by our in-house testing
are cited as such, with attribution to the original source.
All of our in-house tests were run on a dedicated 100 Mbps network, in order to
achieve repeatable test results. Your results will vary based on network
configuration and contention characteristics.
