Module Strategy Use the following strategy to present this module:  Optimizing a Web Server This topic outlines several considerations for optimizing a Web server. Explain how to plan Web server capacity by estimating the network traffic for a Web server and considering the impact that Web page elements have on available network bandwidth and on CPU, memory, and hard disk performance. Demonstrate the procedures for limiting connections to a Web site and enabling Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) compression to improve transmission speed. When discussing how to monitor and optimize Web applications, open System Monitor and point out each of the performance counters that are listed in the table for the Microsoft Active Server Pages and the Web Service performance objects. Next, describe the techniques that you can use to improve Web application performance, and then explain how implementing Network Load Balancing can reduce the risk of an application failure even if a Web server is attacked or it experiences a forced failure. Finally, describe the performance counters that you can use to gather baseline information about Web server performance.  Monitoring and Optimizing Memory Usage This topic describes how to monitor memory usage to determine whether your Web server has adequate physical memory for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 to run efficiently. Explain how to use the Memory performance object in System Monitor to monitor physical and paged memory. Next, discuss the ways in which you can optimize memory usage without adding memory to your Web server. Module 6: Monitoring and Optimizing a Web Server v  Monitoring and Optimizing Processor Activity This topic describes how to monitor and optimize processor activity when one or more processes use a large percentage of processor time. Describe the performance counters that you can use to identify potential processor bottlenecks. Explain how to improve performance if the processor activity level is too high. Next, demonstrate the procedure for enabling process throttling. Finally, describe the performance counters that you can use to monitor IIS 5.0 service connections, explain the procedure for disabling HTTP Keep-Alives, and discuss the process of identifying a processor bottleneck by analyzing connection data.  Monitoring and Optimizing the Available Network Bandwidth  This topic describes how to monitor and optimize the available network bandwidth to ensure optimal usage. Explain the ways in which bandwidth is measured, and describe the performance counters for each of the Open Systems Interconnectivity (OSI) layers, which are listed in Appendix B, “Transmission Rate Counters,” in Course 2295A, Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0. Next, describe the guidelines for interpreting data provided by transmission rate performance counters. Finally, demonstrate the procedure for enabling bandwidth throttling to limit the bandwidth used by Web and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services on your computer. vi Module 6: Monitoring and Optimizing a Web Server  Managing Log Files This topic describes how to enable and manage log files for a Web site to collect information about user activity. Describe the log file formats that are available when you enable logging on a Web or FTP site. Demonstrate the procedures for enabling logging on a Web or FTP site, configuring logging for a specific directory, and setting logging properties. Next, demonstrate the procedure for enabling process accounting to log resource usage by a Web site. Then, describe the strategy for setting up Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) logging and describe the procedure for converting log files to other formats.  Optimizing a Web Site This topic describes the ways in which you can optimize the performance of your Web site. Explain how to test a Web site using the Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool, which needs to be installed on the master client computer. You must not install the Web Application Stress Tool on the Web server you are testing because doing so may interfere with your results. Describe the different methods for creating test scripts, and then demonstrate how to build a test script by using the Web Application Stress Tool. In this demonstration, you will install the Exploration Air Demo Web site, and then you will install the Web Application Stress Tool and build the script by clicking on the links in the Exploration Air Web site. Tell the students that they should not perform the demonstration steps on their own computers. Doing so will prevent them from being able to perform the next lab. The steps in the manual have been provided for future reference, if necessary. Next, explain the strategies that you can use to optimize the performance of your Web site. In addition, describe the security considerations and the procedure for setting Microsoft Windows ® 2000 as an application server to improve Web site performance. Finally, describe how to use the Performance tuning slider on the Performance property sheet to specify the amount of memory that IIS will reserve in its cache.

You must plan Web server capacity so that your hardware and software meets current needs and can be expanded or upgraded as traffic increases. Network Traffic and Connection Types Traffic on a Web server is the combination of incoming requests from browsers and outgoing responses. Web sites periodically experience high activity levels, thus the traffic load is variable. The more visitors your site has and the larger the pages it provides, the more network bandwidth your server requires. The following table describes the traffic that is generated by a typical request for a 5-kilobyte (KB) page. Traffic type Bytes sent Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) connection 180 (approximate) Client GET request 256 (approximate) 5-KB page 5,120 Protocol overhead 1,364 (approximate) Topic Objective To outline the necessary considerations for planning Web server capacity. Lead-in Estimate the network traffic for your Web server to plan Web server capacity. 4 Module 6: Monitoring and Optimizing a Web Server The following table describes different connection types, their speeds, and the number of 5-KB pages sent per second.
