HI,

I would like test access time for my website (or certain page, or query) WHEN there are 5000 concurrent connections. I want to test it for a high traffic website.

is it possible to simulate 5000 concurrent connections? if not, how do people test such situation?

If this question can't be answered, what keyword should I use to start searching?

We used httperf for this before. This tool also gives you some metrics like throughput. There is a website here which has a bunch of open source performance tools listed, most of them related to web performance testing.
