Subjectvery poor TCP performance with 2.2.2
From
Date
I'm testing web server performance with the 2.2 kernels, and I'm
seeing very poor results. All machines I'm testing are RedHat 5.2,
Pentium 2 350's or 400's, eepro100's, plugged into their own port on a
Bay switch, with full duplex forced in the driver. For clients I'm
using either "zeusbench" or a multi-threaded connection-maker that I
wrote. As servers, I'm using either stock Apache from RH 5.2 or
"boa".

Going from 2.0.36 to 2.0.36, I'm getting around 2000 connections per
second on a 2K request. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but
performance seems very good to me. Here's what my program spits out:

In:
Total Bytes:1104500
Average per request: 2209 (including response headers)
Mb/s: 17.7952
Totals:
Threads used: 4
Connections: 500
Seconds: 0.449559
Connection rate: 1112.2 connections/second

Requesting larger files and using more threads has yielded overall
throughputs in excess of 80Mb/s, which is cool.

However, going from the same 2.0.36 machine to a 2.2.2 machine on the
same switch results in this:

In:
Total Bytes:1104500
Average per request: 2209 (including response headers)
Mb/s: 0.183545
Totals:
Threads used: 4
Connections: 500
Seconds: 43.5861
Connection rate: 11.4715 connections/second

Going from a 2.2.2 machine back to a 2.0.36 machine is much better,
but still nowhere near as good as it should be:

In:
Total Bytes:994050
Average per request: 2209 (including response headers)
Mb/s: 2.32451
Totals:
Threads used: 4
Connections: 450
Seconds: 3.01139
Connection rate: 149.433 connections/second


If this isn't a known bug, I'd be happy to get some tcpdumps or
whatever else is required to track it down.

Thanks.
