Howdy, In general Nginx is really good, and we like it a lot, but it has one design flaw that causes it to not work well with swift. Nginx spools all requests, so if you are getting a lot large (say 5GB) uploads, it can be problematic. In our testing a while ago, Pound proved to have the best SSL performance over a 10G link. There are a couple of things that would be interesting to test that have come out since the last time that we did testing:
1. Encryption offloading to the newer Intel chips with it built in. 2. Yahoo's Traffic Server has since become better documented. -- Chuck On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 6:47 AM, Kuo Hugo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello , Stackers > I'm interesting about the reason of Pound as SLB(software Load balance) in > Swift docs. > Most articles talk about the performance of SLB , and Nginx seems the winner > of SLB battle . > Lower CPU usage / lots of connections etc.... > Does Pound has better performance for Swift ? > And if there's a clear comparison table would be great , really confusing > about that .. > In my study , Pound using 7 times of cpu usage than Nginx of SLB in same > conditions . > btw , most of articles just using HTTP instead of HTTPS.
