Hi, I'm trying to figure out how many simultaneous users a single 8 core machine with local apache running as a backend can handle assumming that all the requests are cached.
testing with ab on a slow 100Mbps link shows 2500 hit/s, locally i got 12 000 hit/s with over 200Mbps traffic assuming that each user loads 40 files in 1 minute we get 12000*60/40=18 000 users per minute Is it possible to get half of that 18k users/per minute in real word ignoring the amounts of traffic it will generate ? For now it's only theoretical question, but we would like to estimate how many machines will it take to handle this kind of load. Another question how to scale varnish, I'm thinking about setting a 2 loadbalancers whitch will take care of sessions getting to the same server, and 3x8 core machines for www + varnish or maybe 2x4 core loadbalancers with varnish and 3x8 core machines for www. I would be possible to use varnish as a loadbalancer with some http cookie trickery. I will be grateful to anyone willing to share his experience. -- Michal Grzedzicki _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
