Using multiplication: 1500 req/s * 20KBytes * 8 (bits in a Bytes) = 2,4 * 10^8, which is around 250 Mbits for one way. This traffic is the traffic from the clients to HAProxy, so you'll have it twice, since you'll have the same from HAProxy to the servers.
So in total, around 500 Mbits. cheers On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 5:39 PM, S Ahmed <[email protected]> wrote: > how can I calculate if this will work in theory? > > > On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 5:30 PM, Baptiste <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> You'll need one gig interface (two looks better, one for the frontend >> and one for the backend servers), but it should work without any >> issues. >> >> cheers >> >> On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 9:35 PM, S Ahmed <[email protected]> wrote: >> > I have a service where people will be http posting documents that will >> > be 20 >> > KB in size. >> > The rate at which these documents will be http posted is 1500 requests >> > per >> > second. >> > >> > There will be backend web servers that will be parsing and load the data >> > into a database (ignore this part but just giving the whole picture). >> > >> > What I want to know is, could a single HA proxy server handle this high >> > rate >> > of requests, seeing as the payload is fairly large (it isn't like a >> > simple >> > http get request). > >
