Estimating Users

Hello,

I am using polygraph to "stress test" some squid/linux proxy servers and was
wondering if there is a good way to take the requests/sec and error rates
and extrapolate an estimated number of supported web clients? So if I have
120req/sec w/ 0% errors, how many users proxying through the machine does
that translate to? (assuming that they are all doing basic web surfing) I
understand that there are a tremendous number of variables that could affect
the results, but I am just looking for a rough estimate.

Thanks for any assistance.

Regards,

-c
