I'm creating a webapp that will be hosted locally on a laptop that should be capable of interacting with multiple clients via Signalr. The idea is to have a laptop host all of the client interactions connected through a wireless network. The page is built with .Net 4.5/MVC3/JQuery/SignalR. I've been able to connect with about 6-8 clients without issue, but I'd like to know how far I can take it. Is there any advice on how I can stress test the system? I hope to host about 20-40 client off of a single laptop, is this doable with the specs below?
Laptop Specs: Processor:4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (2.4 GHz 1600MHz 6MB) Operating System:Windows 8.1 64 Graphics:IntelĀ® HD Graphics 4600 Memory:8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz
