Hi,

We are using MINA in my production server. Basically, it's just a simple
chat server, with custom protocol.

Mina version is 2.0.0M6, and we dont have problem with this version so
switching to 2.0.2 isn't a priority at the moment.
The Server OS is Linux CentOS and the clients are Brew Device (Qualcomm),
running in internal network of the carrier (CDMA based).

As the users grow, we are suffering with some performance issues. where some
of the clients are unable to login.
FYI, each client will be assigned to unique session.

here's our investigation steps
1. We can see the 'request packet' captured in the application log,
2. The application completes the message construction for the response to
client
3. aplication perform the final session.write(response)
4. Somehow the response packets are failed to be delivered (In the client
side, it's just stop in WAITING_STATE as no packets are delivered).

step #2 is related with database, we find the average time required is very
acceptable (less than 100ms)

the maximum concurent user ever recorded was 600 something when the problem
starts to occure
java memory configuration -Xmx1024m
ulimit -a from console
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 1024
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 131072
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 71679
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited

basically I'm just change the maximum open file setting for the application.

My Questions are :
1. Is there any other possible tuning required in the OS configuration
2. How to deploy scalable mina application. Let say that I want to deploy my
application in N servers.
3. Is it possible that any setting required from the carrier (DNS, Timeout,
Dormant time) may have affect the chat application ?

Regards,

Adi
