thanks you.

This is a common mistake (no offence :) ) - we got 8000 *CALLS* per 
second, where a call is formed of INVITE + reply + ACK + BYE + reply 
(see call-related section).
For simple transactions for second, we got 15000 - a transaction is 
counted as request + reply.

I notice in several other tests this confusion about a call and 
transaction - and that was why we decided to do separate tests for each, 
to avoid any doubts about what actually was measured.

unfortunately no, because of time restrains :(
