I am trying to understand latency vs maximum number or requests that can be served per second. Can any one help me where I went wrong.

Hi there @srikrishnacj IMHO we should not compare results from tools that sit on top of different protocols (ICMP vs TCP) and that have different purposes. I suggest that if you want to test network bw/latency to use netperf and specifically for the redis use-cases to focus on the TCP_RR. Here are some details (even stating why the approach of netperf or any tool that uses the same protocol of your DB env is better ) : https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/using-netperf-and-ping-to-measure-network-latency

TLDR: you can't make assumptions of a 1 command/sec utility to check availability and compare it to a benchmark tool result. I believe we can close this issue @redis/core-team . @srikrishnacj feel free to state otherwise :)
