Hi all,
I'm working on create a large number of tcp connections on a guest;
The environment is on OpenStack:
Host (dedicated compute node):
OS/Kernel: Ubuntu/3.2
Cpus: 24
Mems: 128GB
Guest (alone on the Host):
OS/Kernel: Ubuntu/3.2
Cpus: 4
Mems: 32GB
Currently a guest can handle about 700 000 established connections, the cpus
are not loaded and 12giga of memory are used.
I'm working to understand why I can go up...
On my host, after several tests with different versions of openvswitch and with
linux bridge,
It look like the process vhost_net is the only process loaded to 100% and it
seems vhost_net cannot use more than 1 cpu.
I would like to get more informations about vhost_net and if there is a
solution to configure it to use more than 1 cpu?
Not sure if it is relevant in your case, but the newly-released Open
vSwitch 2.0 is now multi-threaded:

performance benefits on flow setup"

If you give it a try, let us know.

Thanks a lot,
