Hi,

I am doing some performance tests using two DeLL R410 Servers(8GB of RAM,
300GB disk space and 2x 2.6GHz Intel Quad Core processors). The OS is Fedora
Core 13 64 bits.

The environment is: Both servers behave as sipp server and sipp client. It
is for simulating high media traffic incoming and outgoing through the same
server. Each server has two network physical ports. One as sipp server and
other one as sip client. Each port is in a different subnet.
So the Server A's sipp client reaches the Server B's sip server in a subnet
network. In the other subnet the Server B's sipp client reaches the Server
A's sip server.

I am having trouble when it reaches about 350 simultaneous calls in both
ways. The ksoftirqd process reaches 100% of CPU (software interrupt in the
'top' command) and them the network cards start to drop packets. If I start
the test in just one way I can reach 1000 simultaneous call that no packets
are dropped by the interface. It happens only if I test with high traffic in
both ways.

I tried to change the buffer_size, increase the numbers of sockets in
addition use other Operating system (CentOS 5.5 - 64bits) but the issue
persisted.

Has anyone ever experienced it?

I would appreciate any comments about.

Thanks in advance,

Rafael Pola
