Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.91.1 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all.. I have a few questions about large web servers. I've run a few relatively large web sites on freebsd in the past, but none that put out more than 300-400,000 objects per day (html+gif..). I've been looking at a Solaris machine today that's putting out about 2 million pages a day. The somewhat odd thing is the extraordinary number of sockets left open in TIME_WAIT and FIN_WAIT_2. I roughly understand what they mean, but we're talking about 3000 entries here (about 400-500 of which are FIN_WAIT_2, the rest are TIME_WAIT).. So I have ~3000 sockets in TIME_WAIT/FIN and only about 100 ESTABLISHED. Is this normal?? It doesn't seem like it to me. If not, what would be causing it, and what should I look at tuning on the Slowaris box?? TIA for any ideas! All I know is that I just don't trust sockets on Solaris... :-) -Mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The problem is how do you build tools that understand your programs at a deeper semantic level." - James Gosling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
