Google is your friend :) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7921324/performance-comparison-between-zeromq-rabbitmq-and-apache-qpid Keep in mind you have different feature sets between different message queue servers, so it's unlikely you will ever really get an apples to apples comparison. It's better for you to decide what features are critical to you *before* you just blindly go for one server that has "better performance". The features you want to look over include things like persistence of messages (and options for persistence), HA setups, monitoring and management, etc. > Is there any better alternative than RabbitMQServer ? See above.

Yeah, for a completely random workload pps is the limiting factor. We're lucky in that our primary high bandwidth use case is wide area data transfer where we can fill our jumbo packets. (kudos to the nova folks on that count; we were completely able to configure jumbo frames without having to hack anything up) We were actually more thrilled to be able to build relatively fat single streams, due to our workload. -nld ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Openstack] Performance metrics
Hi That's been my focus for a while now. We're using Tach to instrument openstack, quantum, glance and a bunch of other components. https://github.com/ohthree/tach Also, there's StackTach which will consume the notifications and give you a real-time display of what's happening in the system (as well as giving you a db of events you can query vs. parsing logfiles). https://github.com/rackspace/stacktach And, I recently submitted a patch to novaclient which adds a --timings option to see how long each API request takes. (and this review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/8672/ will add novaclient token caching for a slight speedup) Hope it helps! -Sandy From: openstack-bounces+sandy.walsh=rackspace@lists.launchpad.net [openstack-bounces+sandy.walsh=rackspace@lists.launchpad.net] on behalf of Neelakantam Gaddam [neelugad...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 9:56 AM To: openstack@lists.launchpad.net Subject: [Openstack] Performance metrics Hi All, I want to do performance analysis on top of [openstack,Qauntum,openvswitch] setup.
