Hi Dev Team, I am trying to setup 100K tunnels at 20 tunnels/sec.
But as the number of tunnels established is increasing the kernel-netlink plugin performance is decreasing exponentially. What I mean by this is request and response for the kernel-netlink messages are taking more and more time as the number of established tunnels count, I have tried both with the parallel option enabled and disabled, see the observation for both below. 1. When parallel flag in kernel_netlink_ipsec.c is set to false, most of the threads are waiting for the lock to send netlink_messages to kernel. And the thread with lock is in sendto in kernel_netlink_shared.c (write_msg) 2. When parallel flag in kernel_netlink_ipsec.c is set to true, most of the thread are in condition_wait for the response to be received and processed. And the thread with lock is in sendto in kernel_netlink_shared.c (write_msg). Note: Route installation is disabled. We need help to determine the issue with the netlink performance, as we want to achieve 250 Tunnels per sec and 100K tunnels. Regards, Vinay
