It's actually cheaper to get 8 servers with dual 10Gbps interfaces, 4 10Gbps switches than it would be to get like 2 appliance load-balancers that could possibly handle 4Gbps total traffic. text/html 2012-10-04T13:16:38+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.hagtheil.net/wiki/doku.php?id=system:benches10gbps:direct&rev=1349356598&do=diff This documentation was written after having effective results. We will try to get back the road of tunning client and server, but to make it easier to focus on a single side at once, we will be using a “good” configuration for the other peer. Monitoring graphs for the different benches can be found text/html 2012-11-02T15:41:58+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.hagtheil.net/wiki/doku.php?id=system:benches10gbps:firewall&rev=1351870918&do=diff Those bench start with the inject / httpterm configuration from direct benches, with 270-290k connections/s between a client and a server. Monitoring graphs for the different benches can be found here. Gateway A gateway should be as neutral as possible on the network trafic going through it. If we can get 270k hits by having client and server talking directly, it would be nice to also have that while it transit via our gateway. text/html 2012-10-17T17:35:52+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.hagtheil.net/wiki/doku.php?id=system:benches10gbps:loadbalancing&rev=1350495352&do=diff Like for firewall, those benches starts with inject/httpterm configuration allowing us to get 800k connections/s (2 clients, 3 servers) without loadbalancing them. Monitoring graphs for the different benches can be found here. Baseline configuration
