Greetings, I am hoping that someone will be able to answer a couple of questions for me regarding possible limitations of LVS Director through put and number of Real Servers a Director can manage the traffic for.
We have a Director -> Real Server gated setup. With adding more real servers we are going to have to possible go to a NAT setup. Has anyone done any stress testing to see how many connections (active and inactive) that a Director can handle at a single time per port handled? (our Directors are setup on Dell 850's Dual Core CPU, 2G of Ram, using Internal Gig Nics) Also is there a limit to how many Real Servers can be behind a Director? I have heard that after 20 or so Real Servers LVS Director starts having issues and I wanted to check with the List to see if anyone else is running anywhere near a 100 or so Real Servers behind a Director and if there is any special considerations I need to have. While the Directors are handling the traffic for my different networks with little or no issues right now I am concerned if we get a couple of new contracts and our real server count goes from 10 web servers to 80 web servers in a very short time span will the LVS Director be able to handle the load of several million people connecting via port 80 and 443. Unfortunately I do not have the resources currently to perform any stress testing to this level. Thanks in advance. ~~joe _______________________________________________ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
