Recommendations on the number of TCP connections in Truespeed Layer 4 testing when using the Troubleshooting mode and manual configuration.
If the user would like to use multiples TCP connections and is looking for a recommedation then a good rule of thumb is use 64 KB connections.  BDP = Link speed * RTT / 8 bytes  Then divide the BDP into 64,000 bytes to get number of connections to use. This is not a requirement just a general recommendation. There are a set of rules for BDP and how convert to connection size on automatic TrueSpeed Test.   Here is a snippet of the table:   BDP                                      Connection size 64 KB – 128KB                   16 KB 129 KB – 256 KB                32 KB 257 KB – 512 KB                64 KB
