Hi fatcharly, Did you do some tunning performance in your operative system?
Maybe this parameters could help you: Write this parameters in your /etc/sysctl.conf fs.file-max = 100000 net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets = 100000 net.ipv4.tcp_low_latency = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 512 net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 5 net.ipv4.inet_peer_maxttl = 5 net.core.rmem_max = 262143 net.core.rmem_default = 262143 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 15 net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 3000 net.core.somaxconn = 3000 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 5 After, execute sysctl -p and restart your pound service. Repeat your test and tell us. This TCP/IP tunning help to use less operative system resources and work like a charm for us! I'm very interested on read your feedback Regards! 2012/2/8 Joe Gooch <[email protected]> > Kemp is purpose built, so I'd expect they've spent a lot of time with > custom performance tuning.
