There's a test network available for testing purposes, maybe you can give it a try, you set up some test nodes and start to do the transfers. When you use the testnet, you can claim some testing bitcoins, so you won't risk your mainnet bitcoins.
I also would be interested in the results, but I'm afraid the test network would only give a theoretical maximum, but in real life situation this can change... Any calculation in the documentation?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows the maximum transactions per second the Lightning network has actually been tested to with any links to that information?

I know the theoretical limits are over a million transactions per second but I'm after a number that has been achieved in testing or even on a real coin.

I have tried googling this and searching on these forums for the answer, but I have been unsuccessful.

Thanks.
