Hi,
The SO_REUSEPORT patch has been in trunk for a few months now and has
been proposed for backport in 2.4.x.
Here is an interesting paper which gives a clear explanation and some
benchmark results:
http://www.intel.ie/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/scaling-apache-server-performance-paper.pdf
Would be great if it could be committed in 2.4.x.
Having it reviewed and tested for 2.4.13 may not be possible because of
the T&R window which seems to be in the coming days/weeks.
(this already what was answered for the 2.4.11/2.4.12 release)
Maybe, 2.4.14 could focus on reviewing/merging this patch and associated
performance improvement?
To help adoption, maybe an ASF server could be upgraded with a
SO_REUSEPORT patched version of Apache to have our own measurements and
see how it scales in a real world application.
This has already been done in the past (testing impact of the skiplist
implementation).
Best regards,
CJ
