Fascinating. Any special optimization you are using, or is it from off the shelf software and with standard configuration?

  Sounds totally off-the-shelf. I have a basic LAMP server running on a 4-core VM on a laptop. I just threw ApacheBench at it (not the fastest benchmarking tool, either -- it eats up 1 core all by itself), and it handles 1200 req/s TLS with no keepalive, and 3400 req/s with keepalive. This stuff scales linearly with core count, so I wouldn't be surprised to see much higher numbers in real servers.

    Are these all new TLS connections? Because most benchmarks use TLS resumption which means the TLS handshake was only done once!
    • kijin 4y ago
      AFAIK apachebench is so old it doesn't support TLS resumption, but I might be wrong.

      In my case, all of TLS connections are new and from real clients (not a benchmark/test)

    Is AB running on the same machine during the tests?
    • kijin 4y ago
      Same machine, pegging a CPU core the whole time. So the server side only has 3 cores left to use.

  For offloading SSL I use haproxy with some custom settings and a few non standard kernel settings.
