Thanks for the response. I have below configuration in nginx.conf
worker_processes 8;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
worker_rlimit_nofile 196886;
worker_shutdown_timeout 10s ;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/main/*.conf;
events {
multi_accept on;
worker_connections 16384;
use epoll;
}
stream {
upstream tcp-9005-simple_tcp_echo_go {
#zone myzone 5m;
server 127.0.0.1:9001;
server 127.0.0.1:9002;
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
server 127.0.0.1:9003;
}
server {
#listen 9005 ;
listen 9005 reuseport ;
proxy_pass tcp-9005-simple_tcp_echo_go;
proxy_timeout 600s;
proxy_next_upstream on;
proxy_next_upstream_timeout 600s;
proxy_next_upstream_tries 3;
}
}
Each of the servers in upstream are the same process which responds after
some delay.
I am sending 10000 requests in almost parallel using something like below
in a loop:
*curl 127.0.0.1:9005 <http://127.0.0.1:9005> & *
My expectation is that the 4 upstream servers should get requests in
round-robin fashion like
req1 - upstream srv 1
req2 - upstream srv 2
req3 - upstream srv 3
req4 - upstream srv 4
...
But I do not see that behaviour, I see something like below where the
requests are not being sent in round robin fashion.
I have tried with the below config and round robin does not happen as
mentioned above.
reuse-port on/off
multi-accept on/off
Try 1 (with reuse-port and multi-accept on):
127.0.0.1:9001 -- 2503
127.0.0.1:9002 -- 2501
127.0.0.1:9000 -- 2499
127.0.0.1:9003 -- 2497
Try 2 (without reuse-port and multi-accept on)::
127.0.0.1:9001 -- 2502
127.0.0.1:9002 -- 2501
127.0.0.1:9000 -- 2500
127.0.0.1:9003 -- 2497
Try 3 (with reuse-port and multi-accept off):
127.0.0.1:9001 -- 2502
127.0.0.1:9002 -- 2502
127.0.0.1:9000 -- 2499
127.0.0.1:9003 -- 2497
Try 4 (without reuse-port and multi-accept off):
127.0.0.1:9001 -- 2505
127.0.0.1:9002 -- 2499
127.0.0.1:9000 -- 2498
127.0.0.1:9003 -- 2498
Looks like round robin is happening wrt to a worker process.
When I add the zone configuration or when I set worker-process to 1, it
works and gives the expected result. I am using open source nginx 1.22.0 (
http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.22.0.tar.gz) and have built the source
code.
Is my understanding of round-robin correct ? I feel something related to
the zone is making it work properly.
I also see this description in max_conns section:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_upstream_module.html#server
max_conns=number
limits the maximum number of simultaneous connections to the proxied
server (1.11.5). Default value is zero, meaning there is no limit. If the
server group does not reside in the shared memory, the limitation works per
each worker process.
