https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63690#c7 explains the issue.
No idea why but Vegeta/Golang sends two DATA frames and the second one
(with END_STREAM) is empty:

The reason is here:
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/16181fc7b1930ff202ec2e475f2fbdc587f3e314/java/org/apache/coyote/http2/Http2UpgradeHandler.java#L1448
overheadThreshold is 1024 and average is 20
It goes twice in this method and then fails at

HTTP2: POST request with a small body leads to GOAWAY + ErrCode=ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM

2020-09-30 Thread Martin Grigorov
Hi,

I've tried to test the scenario of Arshiya Shariff:
"With a payload of 200 bytes we were able to send 20K requests/sec with 200
users from Jmeter without any memory issue . On increasing the payload to
5Kb and the number of users to 1000 in Jmeter and sending 1000 requests per
second , the heap of 20GB got filled in 2 minutes . With 200 users the
memory is cleared in the G1 mixed GC itself , but with 1000 users the
memory is not cleared in the mixed GC , it takes full GCs of 7 to 10
seconds to clear the memory. These cases were executed with maxThreads 200
in tomcat , so we tried increasing the maxThreads from 200 to 1000, but
still GC was struggling ."

My Servlet looks like this:
https://github.com/martin-g/http2-server-perf-tests/blob/f5e73d73a864d4c7dbcbbbe80024764352383116/java/tomcat/src/main/java/info/mgsolutions/tomcat/PlainTextServlet.java#L37-L54

And the Vegeta command I issue is:

jq -ncM '{"method": "POST", "url": "https://localhost:8080/testbed/plaintext";,
"body":"payload=Some payload" | @base64, header: {"Content-Type":
["application/x-www-form-urlencoded"]}}' | vegeta attack -format=json
-http2 -rate=1 -max-workers=8 -insecure -duration=3s | vegeta encode >
/tmp/http2.json; and vegeta report -type=json /tmp/http2.json | jq .

The outcome is:

{
  "latencies": {
"total": 114369584,
"mean": 38123194,
"50th": 45737841,
"90th": 62258803,
"95th": 62258803,

"max": 62258803,
"min": 6372940
  },
  "bytes_in": {

GOAWAY and closed the connection; LastStreamID=3,

  ]
}

I.e. it sends 1 POST request every second for 3 seconds and this leads to
GOAWAY+ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM !

>From my understanding on "overhead" this should happen if there are more
SETTINGS|PING|WINDOW_UPDATE|PRIORITY frames than HTTP_HEADERS or DATA.

I am not able to decrypt TLS data in Wireshark when the client is Vegeta,
so I will try to debug it or to reproduce it with Firefox (to be able to
use Wireframe).

Any ideas why this happens ?
