As an update, I'm getting 2000 channels in kernel mode, with about 50% usage of 1 core. (load of the server is at 0.5), which is a 10 fold difference. 

The problem I was hitting, was the (probable) inability to work in kernelmode with the rtpproxy.so module, rtpengine.so works nicely.

As a person who working much on developing new RTP engine for Kamailio, I should express achieving to 12k concurrent call is very strange with Kernel part of RTPEngine.
Regardless of NIC's parameter, multi core and some other parameters, it is important where the hooking linux kernel function is called. The Kernel part of RTPEngine is called in NF_INET_LOCAL_IN. It means the rtp packet goes up local routing in network stack.
I could not reach to 12k yet, although i call Linux kernel function in NF-INET-PRE-ROUTING

quoting from: https://github.com/sipwise/rtpengine/blob/master/README.md

# ensure that the table we want to use doesn't exist - usually needed after a daemon
# restart, otherwise will error
echo 'del 0' > /proc/rtpengine/control

this part seems to be very relevant indeed!

Hey Davy,

 

Check  cat /proc/rtpengine/0/list

Ok, I'll get my SIPP warmed up then ... ;) thx for the feedback!

Hello Davy,

 

You should look into it, sounds strange. Compare e.g. to this e-mail from 2015 – over 16k simultaneous calls on a 12 core machine:

Cheers,

Subject: [SR-Users] RTPEngine performance - How far are you pushing your systems

 

Dear all, 

 

Not a direct question on kamailio, but on rtpengine, so feel free to ignore :) 

 

I have a farm of rtpengine servers , supporting our set of kamailio's. 

 

On recent decent hardware (hp dl360 gen9/10 servers), I typically push my systems upto 2500 channels per machine. Then I tend to see the load of the machine go up in a logarithmic manner. E.g. a load of 3 supports 2500 channels, but when its at 3000 channels, load can be at 8. etc.

 

I have the kernel module running, and I have a good impression it's being used too. No transcoding is going on, no recording, ... I've tried on different OS'es, different network cards, and I always end up at that 2500 channels +-. 

 

Is that what I can expect from rtpengine? Or am I really overlooking something? What numbers do you push out of your systems? 

 

kind regards and happy 2020!
