Hello all,
I'm guessing if OpenSER supports more than one CPU.
I ask for this to know if I can achieve to double the call per second
(cps) rate or registration rate using two processors instead of one.
I suppose that many of us have read the excellent "getting started 5"
guide and use the scripts provided in this guide to start their first
SER/OpenSER proxy. I would like to know if other users using these
scripts would like to share their experience on the amount of users
their OpenSER platform is able to handle, and on which hardware.
It could be interesting if some users can post their OpenSER performance
(cps, registration rate, number of user) with a particular "getting
started" script, for example : "Authenticating ser.cfg", "call
forwarding ser.cfg".
Moreover, it could be great if we could think of a standard procedure to
stress test the proxy. I have heard of Sipp, so do you think this
program could be the base of this procedure?
I understand that OpenSER performance greatly depends of the ser.cfg,
nat configuration, avpops, the database backend, but I think that it
could be great to delimit some standards configurations and show what we
can expect on different hardware specifications.
I'm wondering about this, cause I'd like to know if one or two OpenSER
will easily support 30 000 to 40 000 users, call forwarding, redirection
to voicemail; or will I have to buy a commercial product to do this.
I have a small configuration (pstn gateway ser.cfg) running with 50
users, registering every 60s and a peak of 20cps (limited by my pstn
connectivity), running like a charm on a small Intel P3 700 Mhz with
256MB (it's a small test box running on my desk).
If somebody could help to define a test, it will be a pleasure to share
my experience on an IBM HS20 blade with a bi Xeon 3,06 Ghz and 4GB of RAM.
Thanks to all for the daily support,
rod.

Rod,
I have very little experience with extremely high loads like you're
discussing. However, I do know that you could build a MySQL cluster and use a
cacheless usrloc setup on each of your OpenSER servers. This would let you
scale very easily; just add more servers.
Additionally, since this is cacheless, I don't think the servers will have to
keep all of the users in memory, either. Could someone more knowledgeable
please verify this?

the CVS head has cacheless mode (3) for user location (usrloc). There
are other modules that can do cache/cacheless modes - lcr, pdt, domain
... Depending on the number of the records, you can select different
modes for specific modules.

you will not
double the performances for sure, but will be significant
increase. There are operations that are not CPU intensive, but I/O, like
retrieving/storing records in database, dns queries may slow the
processing as well.
I suppose that many of us have read the excellent "getting started 5"
guide and use the scripts provided in this guide to start their first

yes, sipp is a good tool, you can create different scenarios to test the
routing. It supports many transport protocols.
I understand that OpenSER performance greatly depends of the ser.cfg,
nat configuration, avpops, the database backend, but I think that it
could be great to delimit some standards configurations and show what
we can expect on different hardware specifications.
Some limitations come from the amount of users behind nat. If you have
to proxy the RTP streams through your server, then the bandwidth may be
a bottleneck.
I'm wondering about this, cause I'd like to know if one or two OpenSER
will easily support 30 000 to 40 000 users, call forwarding,
redirection to voicemail; or will I have to buy a commercial product
to do this.
One instance of openser should be able to serve more that these numbers
of users for the operations you require. The memory has to be more as
you add lot of users - 4GB is more than needed.
There were performance numbers posted on the mailing list, maybe
searching in the archive will reveal some.

Daniel
