The numbers shown for memory usage also include shared memory, ie memory used by multiple processes/threads, these shared areas will be counted multiple times. Use `free` to find the real amount of used memory on your server (look at the +/- buffers section) ------------------------------ *From:* users-bounces(a)openser.org [mailto:users-bounces@openser.org] *On Behalf Of *Arun Kumar *Sent:* 20 June 2007 14:44 *To:* USER; serusers(a)lists.iptel.org *Subject:* [Users] regarding memory usage Hi 1. Is there any benefit of increasing the value of PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE and SHM_MEM_SIZE ? /*used only if PKG_MALLOC is defined*/ #define PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE 1024*1024 /*used if SH_MEM is defined*/ #define SHM_MEM_SIZE 32 2. I've compiled my ser with #define PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE 1024*1024*512 ans started using ser -m 100 option with children=4 and listening on two ips when I started memory usages was seems to fine for few days(3-4) less then 1GB but after that nealy 1.7 - 1.8 GB of memory usage and when I do top: 16165 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.3 2.7 0:16.34 ser 16167 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.3 2.7 0:15.89 ser 16164 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.3 2.7 0:16.29 ser 16166 root 15 0 617m 54m 36m S 0.7 2.7 0:16.16 ser 16172 root 16 0 617m 53m 35m S 0.0 2.7 0:05.04 ser 16168 root 16 0 617m 52m 34m S 0.0 2.6 0:00.09 ser 16170 root 16 0 617m 52m 34m S 0.0 2.6 0:00.07 ser 16169 root 16 0 617m 52m 34m S 0.0 2.6 0:00.08 ser 16171 root 16 0 617m 52m 34m S 0.0 2.6 0:00.10 ser 16163 root 16 0 617m 52m 34m S 0.0 2.6 0:00.01 ser 16145 root 25 0 617m 52m 34m S 0.0 2.6 0:07.80 ser it shows 11 instance of ser with above info. If I sum up 617 * 11 = 6787 MB of memory but in my machine I've only 2 GB Physical RAM and it never uses Swap ? if 54 * 11 = 594 ? but free -m and top shows more memory usage ? can please explain me in brief . I'll be really thankfull. B'coz of this I'm facing may problem. thanks arun ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Its much more reasonable to increase the shared memory parameter, e.g. to system memory / number of children. Cheers, Henning

Hello, as said in the other email, I assume you are running an older version of openser and have a lot of location (aliases) entries. I paste from the other email: Older versions used to load everything in private memory and then move to shared memory. With openser 1.2.x, that problem is gone, as it is using db fetch mechanism. Also, the server is no longer blocked during loading, as it is done by first child, the rest can handle sip traffic immediately at startup. Just let me know the numbers in location/aliases to see a roughly estimation of required memory. The best is to migrate to 1.2.1, which solves this problem in a nice way, also is much faster in usrloc when dealing with large number of records. http://www.openser.org/docs/openser-performance-tests/#ul-tests Cheers, Daniel On 06/21/07 12:00, Arun Kumar wrote:
