Stanislav,

I've taken a look at the Sprout crash. It looks like you have are hitting a 
crash in the Net SNMP library we use for alarms and statistics. I've raised an 
issue to track this - https://github.com/Metaswitch/sprout/issues/1527

We've seen similar looking stacks for Bono before on multi-core VMs - e.g. 
under 
http://lists.projectclearwater.org/pipermail/clearwater_lists.projectclearwater.org/2015-January/001986.html

Historically we've scaled up Sprout and Bono by running many single or 
dual-core instances rather than running fewer larger instances - this is because
- we've seen virtualization environments impose per-VM limits on TCP connection 
counts, and obviously Bono has large numbers of TCP connections in a real-world 
scenario
- we only support a single transport thread and, since Bono performs relatively 
little processing per message, and Sprout needs to perform some processing per 
message, it is this that ends up being the bottleneck quite quickly.

Generally we've run single core Bono nodes, and dual core Sprout nodes.

Having said that, we should look into why it's crashing when you're running 
more cores.

Can you give us some description of the scenario you are running under when you 
see this?

You might also find it useful to subscribe to the mailing list so that you

Thanks,

Richard

Subject: [Project Clearwater] Sprout/Bono/Chronos crashes under stress test

Hello all,

We've been trying to perform IMS stress testing for some time now but it seems 
that we are really unlucky. When we perform sip test we experience constant 
bono/sprout crashes which affects results of our performance evaluation. The 
thing is we do know that generally our deployment is working (we managed to 
perform calls and run tests). At first we manually deployed IMS cluster but 
after crashes we decided to try all in one VM but we still experience sprout 
crashes (bono crashes are mostly fixed after setting 1CPU/1Worker). Could you 
please look at the dumps:

because for now we have no clue for what is happening.

BR,
Stanislav
