What is the relation between Response Time and Throughput?

Answer Posted / vamsi

Throughput is the no:of bytes downloaded from the server during a transaction, whereas response time is the time taken for a transaction to complete. Until the total bytes gets downloaded from the server, we cannot consider the transaction is completed. So throughput should be directly proportional to response time.

Suppose for a login transaction, if 10240 bytes gets downloaded from the server. User has to wait until all bytes gets downloaded to consider the transaction is completed.
With 1 user load 10240 bytes may get downloaded in 2 sec
With 100 concurrent user load it may take more than 2 sec (say 60 sec) to download same 10240 * 100 bytes.
