proton-c event interface soak test 24-25 nov 2014 results ----------------------------------------------
interbox test over 1 gig-e wire 1 connection, 1 session, 5 links [1] 10 billion ( 1e10 ) messages sent, 100 bytes payload per message, 140 bytes total per message messages per second average: 446,675 [2] bandwidth consumed: 500,275,553 bits per second [2] ( 50% of available bandwidth on 1 gig-e ) credit scheme: (per link) 400 initial credits, 200 more every time total falls to 200. behavior: Very stable during test. Low variability for time-reports after each 5 million messages delivered. No obvious changes in speed. memory growth: on receiver, from 4232 KB to 4264 KB [1] I did an earlier test that determined that these settings gave me the greatest number of messages per second on a single connection. However, these settings did not give the highest bandwidth consumption. That happened with larger message sizes. ( i.e. larger payloads. ) The test was able to saturate a 1 gig-e wire. Looking for a faster wire to test with ... [2] note: these data are from a new run that has only completed 2 billion messages so far. I lost the data from the first run. :-( I will do more analysis on the data when the current test completes.
