I am trying to put some load on GnuGK and see how
it performs. It is a totally amazing experience. Watching the status
window seems a lot similar to the numbers dropping in the movie
Matrix.
I'm running GnuGK Full Proxy & FileIPAuth on
Win2003 with a PIV 2.4GHz 1024MB RAM system. I've had no problems running 30-32 simultaneous calls.
I'm now testing with 40-50 calls, and
faced the "Too Many Ports" error, which was
corrected by increasing the CallSignalHandler and RtpHandler to 3 each.
Having a problem like this on a live system is just like your worst
nightmare. Currently, my CPU is showing a 40-45% load. And,
my memory utilization is at 150MB. My
Bandwidth Utilization is around 1.2-1.4 Mbps (G.723r63 codec only), as shown by
DUMeter.
I have learned a few things during all
this:
1. It's best to turn debugging off, when no
debugging info is needed. That makes the CPU load lower, and GnuGK more
responsive.
2. When doing changes to the INI File,
(Re)^n check your config file, for even the smallest of changes.
A small mistake can be fatal.
Now, here are my questions:
1. Is 40-45% load alright for my GnuGK to
perform smoothly? What should be the ideal range?
2. Will GnuGK be able to handle more / less
calls if =>
2 a. Proxy is set to 0?
2 b. OS is changed to Linux or FreeBSD
or anything else?
2 c. I reduce RAM to 512 MB or even
256MB, since only 150 out of 1024 MB is shown by Windows as used?
=> In all these 3 cases, how much difference
in performance can I expect?
Thank you all once again.
And Kudos to the GnuGK Gurus.
