I was wondering if there is any way to get the Pound 2.5 behaviour for threads in Pound 2.6+.
We have a somewhat atypical setup involving Pound where the old behaviour was strongly preferable. Basically, we handle large volumes of long lived connections (think Websockets). With Pound 2.5, we had no trouble supporting over 10,000 concurrent connections, whereas using the default Pound 2.6 setup things fell over around 110. Now, I can bump up the Threads value to 10,000 or 20,000 (or some other equally large number), and this works, but this means that Pound always has 10,000 or 20,000 threads running, which isn't very nice to the system. I should point out that we don't normally have 20,000 concurrent connections, this is an unusual event, but we do need to support it. So, is there any way to get back the old threading behaviour, or do we just have to tough it out and always run a huge number of Pound threads? - Neil -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected].
