The key is that the request rate be independent of the latency of individual requests.<p>In the case of wrk (the original wrk, not Gil Tene&#x27;s version), you could use this version to check for maximum RPS &#x2F; bandwidth.  This is because it&#x27;s sending requests as fast as it can, but one after the other.<p>In the case of wrk2, Gil Tene&#x27;s version, you have to specify the rate at which to send requests.  This is how it avoids coordinated omission.
