Happy Diwali
A Festival of Light
Diwali or Deepaawali means an Array of Lamps i.e .Rows of diyas (Deep =
Lamp, Vali =Array). Of all the festivals celebrated in India, Diwali is by far the
most glamorous and important. Enthusiastically enjoyed by people of every
religion, its magical and radiant touch creates an atmosphere of joy and festivity.
As a family festival, it is celebrated 20 days after Dussehra, on the 13th day of the
dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October / November). This year it falls on
14th Nov. It is a festival of lights symbolizing the victory of righteousness and the
lifting of spiritual darkness. It celebrates the victory of good over evil - and the
glory of light. This festival commemorates Lord Rama's return to his kingdom
Ayodhya after completing his 14-year exile. Homes are decorated, sweets are
distributed by everyone and thousands of lamps lit to create a world of fantasy.
Diwali is a time for fun and revelry. Diwali is also a time for pooja and tradition.

Discussion of some
performance issues and
solutions
35
Performance
Why is it important ?
•
•
•
•
Reduce server cost per user => more users per server
Registration: 100 requests/s => 180000 registered users
(1 hr refresh time, digest authentication)
Call: 100 requests/s => 120000 calls per hour (record
route)
Bandwidth: 1 Gb/s => (approx) 6250 bi-directional
G.711 simultaneous participants in a conference.
36
Performance
For which components ?
•
Signaling: proxy, registrar (sipd)
–
–
–
–
•
Receive message
Act on it (canonicalize, database lookup)
Proxy the message
Send/proxy response back
Media: sipconf, rtspd
–
–
–
–
Some processing for each media stream
File I/O
Encode/decode (audio mixing)
Forward packets (video)
37
Performance
Threads
•
One thread per request
–
–
–
1.
2.
For 1MB virtual memory per thread on 32 bit machine: max
limit of 4000 threads. OS limits (for regular user 1024 pthreads
on solaris)
30 second wait per stateful INVITE request; limits to 130 R/s
Thread creation overhead
Customize stack size
Use thread pool or event model
38
Performance
Thread pool
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Request are put in an event queue
Worker threads pick up the event and execute
Fix the number of worker threads
G/G/T/N queue
Use thread pool for all requests
Need to rewrite sleep/wakeup so that 30 sec wait does
not waste a thread
Will multiple process help? may be for stateless proxies
39
Performance
In-memory DB
•
•
•
•
•
Every query to database affects turn-around time
Duplicate the DB in main memory; hash-table
Less than 4k per user (?)
Replacement algorithm? Not needed
Synchronization: separate threads
– Primary user table, aliases: relatively static, readonly by sipd,
refresh every 30 min
– Contacts table: read-write, refreshed every 2 min
– Read only modified records since last read, write back only
modified records
40
Performance
Database
• NFS issues (log, scripts, database files?)
• SQL logging: currently serialized; use lazy write back;
logging at the end of request processing, so it does not
affect response time but consumes resources (worker
thread) for longer time per request
• DB on same machine or on remote machine?
41
Performance
Bandwidth
• Assuming avg message length 130 bytes; on 100 Mb/s
with effective 40%, 3000 requests/s
• Affects more to media components
– Number of simultaneous media streams served by rtspd
– Number of participants in a conference by sipconf
– Number of simultaneous three party conferences by sipconf
42
Performance
General Comments
• Measure performance on various platforms (Linux, Solaris
Netra, Dec Alpha)
• Compare stateless vs stateful proxy
• Compare in-memory (fastsql) vs database (sql)
•

Conference recording (local file, media server)
File sharing in a conference from web
Voice dialogs for conferencing and voicemail
Load balancing on multiple conference servers
