> Netflix is doing 100Gbit HTTP and > 60Gbit HTTPS on a single socket Xeon E5 with FreeBSD. These servers are about 1/3 North American Internet by volume. In comparison to OCA team their AWS team sounds like a total tire fire to me in terms of engineer count and monthly spend.
Have any idea how many cores and what kind of network hardware they use push those impressive figures? I would guess there is some network offload involved, as this comparable to memory bandwidth of a single core of that Xeon if I'm not mistaken.
- emaste 11y agoThere's a little bit of detail in this press release from Mellanox: http://ir.mellanox.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=959350 http://ir.mellanox.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=959350
- bsdimp 11y agoFor those numbers, it was around 18 real cores with hyper threading enabled. Crypto is a great workload for hyper threads. These systems are currently being built up and aren't yet in production. These are with last year's CPUs. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/hardware/ https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/hardware/ has the currently deployed system specs.
