Hi Alan,

This is 7.0.0

I only see this behavior on ioBufAllocator[0], [4] and [5].  The other 
ioBufAllocators’ usage looks as I would expect (i.e. allocated goes up then 
flat), so I was thinking it was more likely something to do with my 
configuration or use-case.

I’d also just like to understand, at a high level, how the ioBufAllocators are 
used.

Thanks,

Nick

Honestly it sounds like a leak. Can you specify which version of Traffic Server 
this is?

Hi



I have a load test that I’ve been running for a number of days now.  I’m using 
the memory dump logging in traffic.out and I’m trying to understand how Traffic 
Server allocates and reuses memory.  I’m still quite new to Traffic Server.



Nearly all of the memory traces look as I would expect, i.e. memory is 
allocated and reused over the lifetime of the test.  However my readings from 
ioBufAllocator[0] show a continual increase in allocated AND used.  I am 
attaching a graph.  (FYI – This graph covers approximately 3 days of continual 
load test.)



I would have expected to start seeing reuse in ioBufAllocator by now, like I do 
in the other ioBufAllocators.  Can someone help me understand what I’m seeing?



Many thanks,



Nick Dunkin
