Ok I have read it again but maybe I don't understand it sorry.

---from FAQ
Currently HTTP/HTTPS statistics includes the following counters:
- requests num;
- 2xx success num;
- 3xx redirects num;
- client 4xx errors num;
- server 5xx errors num;
- other errors num, like resolving, tcp-connect, server closing or empty
responses number;

- average application server Delay (msec), estimated as the time between
HTTP request and HTTP response without taking into the account network
latency (RTT);

- average application server Delay for 2xx (success) HTTP-responses, as
above, but only for 2xx responses. The motivation for that is that 3xx
redirections and 5xx server errors/rejects may not necessarily provide a
true indication of a testing server working functionality.

- throughput out (batch average);
- throughput in (batch average);

Do you mean that: requests / $RUNTIME <= where can I get this value?! => RPS

I don't see any time value which I can use for the calculation which
requests was done in the same $TIME (e.g.: Second/Minute/..).

Sorry for my lack of understanding mybe I'am to spoiled from the other
tools and think in a wrong way.

Here I have the same problem, where are the time value which I can use
to calculate Sessions per second.

See above.
