<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Nice!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Have you stress tested your patch with perfdhcp with, say, 1500 RPS?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">As I wrote in a previous thread [1] KEA is a mono threaded application and your hook might not perform as expected if your backend is slow (e.g. between 20ms and 50ms).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Even if your backend takes 8ms to respond you will probably still max out at 125 RPS (best conditions).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">This is because when a request is being served all the incoming udp packets will be buffered in kernel space, and processed sequentially… and if your hook is not fast enough your network
recvq will max out until it hits the kernel buffer limits, after which you will start dropping packets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">You might need to alternatives solutions to this. For example the solution we use in Facebook (in our hook) is to drop the first DISCOVERY/SOLICIT request, spawn a background fetch to our
backend, which populate internal data structure in memory, when the client retries a second or so later the info will be in memory and therefore it can be served fast. We basically take advantage of the fact that clients usually have retry/exponential backoff
logic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">If you run into performance issues (like we did) you might find my proposal viable (until and if KEA people will consider redesign the core to be async or multithread).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
