Jason,
That's 50,000 connections per second or up to 850MB/s (not 15MB/s).
We tried to following this coyote testing methodology (which they
copied from from F5), the important bit is the keepalive setting....
http://www.spirent.com/documents/atp/The_Tolly_Group-Public_Test_Report-1375.pdf
Tolly offered to do the same for us .. a snip at $30,000
So we hired some spirent kit and an engineer for a day... we were a
bit rushed to get it done in a day but we were pretty happy that
performance was comparable to Coyote and better than F5.
The main thing for us was to ensure that our basic kit could:
a) saturate a 1GB link with medium to large packets.
b) handle 50K/s transactions consistently without a sweat.. small packet sizes.
We also tested haproxy which we were pleasantly surprised by performance.
Also unloading or loading netfilter contrack modules made no
difference (as long as no rules were in place.)
No real system with live random traffic will ever come close to these
results due to the way ethernet/TCP/IP works.....
