Hi all,
I've wanted to redo those benchmarks at 10 Gbps for quite some time now,
in fact since the release of 1.3.16 which brought splicing support and the
new I/O layer. Now I found a few hours to re-run them, the results have
been posted here :
http://haproxy.1wt.eu/10g.html
In short, raw data throughput excels thanks to Linux kernel 2.6.27's TCP
splicing and LRO implemented in the Myri-10G NIC, because haproxy is now
capable of proxying 10 Gbps with less than 20% CPU used on a Core2Duo
2.66 GHz. The peak session rate has also significantly improved with the
I/O rework. We now reach 38000 hits/s on the same hardware, and can get
as high as 105000 connections/s if they are not forwarded to the server
(eg: blocking ACLs).
Regards,
Willy
