[Tsung] Suggested method of testing a Jabber Servers max user connects

[Taylor Laramie]

I'm attempting to use Tsung to bench/stress a replacement system for our 
current Jabber server (ejabberd) to get an idea what of the maximum 
number of concurrent user connections it can handle w/ light load. The 
main consideration is the use of TLS/SSL which I've been able to get 
Tsung to use but now I'm getting an fatal error at around 9000 users 
before it completes the tasks.
Does anyone have any suggestions or an example tsung.xml for testing 
load capacity for an xmpp server (using TLS) ? The main items I'm 
testing for are :
- max con. users
- rate of connection
- generous amount of activity (message sending, roster interaction ,etc)
To wit I'm using interarrival to control rate and global_number + 
userid_max maximum concurrent.
