Subject: virtio: Large number of tcp connections, vhost_net seems to be a bottleneck
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:04:33 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]

Hi all,

I'm working on create a large number of tcp connections on a guest;
The environment is on OpenStack:

Host (dedicated compute node):
  OS/Kernel: Ubuntu/3.2
  Cpus: 24
  Mems: 128GB

Guest (alone on the Host):
  OS/Kernel: Ubuntu/3.2
  Cpus: 4
  Mems: 32GB

Currently a guest can handle about 700 000 established connections, the cpus are not loaded and 12giga of memory are used.
I'm working to understand why I can go up...

On my host, after several tests with different versions of openvswitch and with linux bridge,
It look like the process vhost_net is the only process loaded to 100% and it seems vhost_net cannot use more than 1 cpu.

I would like to get more informations about vhost_net and if there is a solution to configure it to use more than 1 cpu?

Thanks a lot,
s.
