My apologies if this does not belong here. I'm not sure if this is an
Apache problem, or a kernel problem. I'm having some big problems in which
it appears that a single PII 400Mhz or a single AMD 400 will outrun a dual
PII 450 at http requests from Apache. These machines were running 2.2.2,
with a small patch from Alan Cox to make them work under smp with our bios.
A kernel upgrade to 2.2.9 made the problem WORSE. At least we don't need
the patch to get it to boot smp though... :) Anyway, here's some data we've
accumulated:
Testing the Linux/Apache HTTP Servers has given the following data
AMD K6 400Mghz 512KRam Linux 2.0.36 Apache 1.3.6. 208.32.10.88
PII 400 Mghz 128K Ram Linux 2.0.36 " 208.32.10.90
Dual PII/450Mghz 512KRam Linux 2.2.8 " 208.32.10.67
Dual PII/450Mghz " Linux 2.0.36 " "
Data for HTTP Server Tests: 100 1MByte mpeg files stored on local disks.
Results
AMD 400Mghz K6 accepts and delivers mpeg test files to 1000 simultaneous
clients @ 57.6Kbits/sec.
PII 400Mghz accepts and delivers mpeg test files to 1000 simultaneous
clients @ 57.6Kbits/sec.
Dual PII/450Mghz Linux 2.0.36 and 2.2.8 delivers mpeg files far less than
300 simultaneous @57.6Kbits/sec
with associated TCP/IP errors at the client simulators 10054 (reset by
peer) and 10060 (connection time out).
Connection time in genearl from simulator to Server were tremendous,
averaged about 5 seconds, normally viewed as error.
I'm going to post this to the appropriate web server newsgroup as well.
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I think it might be kernel related,
or at least an interaction between the kernel and Apache. Apache is version
1.3.3. Thanks in advance...
