Re: Out of Office AutoReply: Witango-Talk: Setting up multiple Witango boxes
Is it possible that the Witango List server doesn't identify itself as a "list" in the same standard way that other list servers do when sending email.

RE: Witango-Talk: Setting up multiple Witango boxes
From a networking standpoint unless you have a superfast ISP nic card latency will not be your issue. You will clearly run into RAID I/O latency before you hit the 900mbps limit of a good nic card. We do high end video servers and don’t see much over 700mbps per nic card. Plus on board (motherboard) Nics generally suffer in performance. If you are really concerned in network based performance PCIA card NICs seem to get better throughput. Just one mans opinion.

RE: Witango-Talk: Setting up multiple Witango boxes
I run a setup like this now, although on Linux. If you have a pro license, there is no special setup required for dual-core or multiple CPUs. A single pro server will use all available processors. You can also install multiple pro server instances on each machine and both will use all processes. There is a Pro config guide somewhere on Witango's site. I did performance tests with the 5.5 pro app server a while back, all on Linux. Some were on 2-way Hyper-Threaded servers. Some were on 2-way dual core Opteron servers. The goal was to determine the configuration that yielded the highest number of simulated concurrent users with all requests completing in 10 seconds or less. I use apache JMeter for this testing. I found that having HyperThreading turned on helped a little. IIRC, ~15% more simulated users than with HT off. If you are using an old version of Linux (2.4 kernel), or Windows (? prior to release of HT CPUs), it is highly likely that HT will slow things down because the OS does not properly take advantage of HT. I found that changing PROCESSAFFINITY to be anything but ALL caused a major slow-down. This could be specific to Linux, as this tweak seems dependent on the kernel's scheduling. The 5.5 server handles threads nicely, and a single app server instance will make full use of dual-core and multiple CPU hardware. I found no significant difference in performance/capacity between running a single app server per box vs. two app servers per box. I use two app servers per box in production, for two reasons. One, I think there could be corner cases where a larger thread pool could help, like a wave of traffic hitting all at once. Two (and more importantly), when an app server gets bit by the !CST bug, or other code problem that causes it to crash, it affects 1/2 the users it would have if I used one instance per box. The drawback is that two app servers per box take a bit more work to setup -- more config files, log files, init scripts, etc. If you setup the Witango client to use more than two app server instances, you may need an updated version of the client module. I discovered a bug last Fall where the client would only send requests to two app servers, even when configured with more than two. The bug was fixed by Witango Tech., but I'm not sure if that fix is in the latest release of the 5.5 server or not. I recommend testing everything, including performance tests. Performance testing is the only way to know what you're getting for your efforts. Your tests may yield very different results from mine, due to Windows vs. Linux, and/or application code differences. You may even find some bottlenecks in your code. Finally, Robert Shubert does consulting for this sort of setup. He was very helpful narrowing down the Witango client bug. - Jeff At 3:30 PM -0400 08/02/2006, Wolf, Gene wrote: > Thanks Robert.

If you have 1 standard license, per server, then you need to get the FASTEST single core, non hyper threaded machine you can find, for the best witango performance on a single server.Hyperthreading, although 1 core, looks to the OS as 2 cpus, so witango will only bind to one logical CPU, and then you get half the performance. Same with dual core, it will only bind to one of the cpus.Unfortunately, there is no documentation, and witango should provide it, but I haven't seen any for this since Tango 2000, but I think it has been detailed on the list. -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ On Aug 2, 2006, at 11:50 AM, Wolf, Gene wrote: I know a number of you have done this but I can't seem to find any instructions on doing this anywhere.
