Hi, I have a server which accepts ssl connections. I have a client which does parallel ssl connections to this. After closing all connections the server has unfreed memory. This gets reused for subsequent ssl connections, so no issue there.
My problem is with the amount of memory left over. I do about 4000 parallel connections and close all of them I have over 2GB of memory still occupied by the process. I verified that this is due to the ssl (did similar test with only the ssl part left out and I get back all the memory). But if I do the same 4000 connections sequentially (handshake is sequential, but the ssl connection is kept active) and then close all of them. The memory occupied is much less (a few 100 MBs) version: openssl-0.9.8b-14.fc7 openssl-devel-0.9.8b-14.fc7 Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? The server code: SSL_METHOD* meth = SSLv23_method(); ctx = SSL_CTX_new(meth); . . SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(...) // This ctx is shared across all connections SSL* ssl = SSL_new(ctx); SSL_set_bio(ssl, bio, bio); SSL_accept(ssl); . . . SSL_set_shutdown(); SSL_free(ssl); Thanks, Ramashish B. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
