I can't do more than 1K requests/sec even with tcp_tw_reuse/tcp_tw_recycle with ab. I get commBind errors due to connections in TIME_WAIT. Any tuning options suggested for RHEL6 x64? Jenny I would have a concern using both those at the same time. reuse and recycle. Reuse a socket, but recycle it, I've seen issues when testing my own linux distro's with both of these settings. Right or wrong that was my experience. fin_timeout, if you have a good connection, there should be no reason that a system takes 60 seconds to send out a fin. Cut that in half, if not by 2/3's And what is your limitation at 1K requests/sec, load (if so look at I/O) Network saturation? Maybe I missed an earlier thread and I too would tilt my head at 13K requests sec! Tory --- As I mentioned, my limitation is the ephemeral ports tied up with TIME_WAIT. TIME_WAIT issue is a known factor when you are doing testing. When you are tuning, you apply options one at a time. tw_reuse/tc_recycle were not used togeter and I had 10 sec fin_timeout which made no difference. Jenny nb: i still dont know how to do indenting/quoting with this hotmail... after 10 years.
