re: jabberd seems to be dropping messages under a high load I had another developer at Vedalabs review my Jabber Test Suite code to ensure that I was properly handling the XML in msgloadrec. We seem pretty confident that I am not losing messages on my end, which indicates that either Linux or jabberd is dropping entire messages going from the sender to the receiver on the Jabber server when the machine is under a high load. As I mentioned in my first post I had expected message delivery time to increase rather than a flat-out dropping of messages. Is this or is this not known, correct behavior? Can I get a confirmation from someone on the Jabber.org or Jabber.com team? As of right now we get a rate of 100 msg/sec through jabberd on a Pentium III 600 before the loss rate becomes unacceptable (greater than 2%). Is this outcome similar to anyone elses situation? Has anyone else tested how jabberd or jabberd/Linux behave under high loads? What is the expected behavior? If you are building clients to use Jabber for routing messages how are you handling this? Do your sending Jabber clients require ACKs from your receiving Jabber clients? (Well, obviously this isn't a serious situation for chat clients, but it probably is for most other types.) Jabber.com, we have numbers from you regarding limits on concurrent users, but what about message throughput rates? Can we get some information? This is arguably as important as concurrent user limits. Regards, Dustin -- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://members.telocity.com/~dpuryear In the beginning the Universe was created.
