Measuring Scalability and Performance with TCP

Mauricio Stekl — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:13:21 +0000

What if you had all the data you needed to measure system performance and scalability at any tier, discover performance and stability problems before they happen, and plan for capacity and performance by modeling the system’s behavior at greater load than you currently have? Now it is as easy as running tcpdump and processing the result with a tool. In this two-part discussion you will first learn how to do black-box performance analysis to discover hidden problems in your systems. In the second part you will learn about mathematical performance and scalability models, how the inputs can be computed from TCP packet headers, and how to derive and interpret the results with free tools from Percona Toolkit.

Presented by Baron Schwartz at Percona Webinars – December 14, 2011.

Measuring Scalability and Performance

Mauricio Stekl — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:07:03 +0000

TCP network traffic is great for analyzing and modeling system performance, scalability, and capacity. This talk introduces tools for detecting performance problems and applying formal mathematical models easily, to forecast performance and scalability. This isn’t your typical queueing theory talk — it’s actually practical and usable for ordinary mortals in the real world.

Measuring Scalability and Performance With TCP

What if you had all the data you needed to measure system performance and scalability at any tier, discover performance and stability problems before they happen, and plan for capacity by modeling the system’s behavior at greater load than you currently have? Now it is as easy as running tcpdump and processing the result with a tool. In this talk you will learn a quick overview of mathematical scaling models, how the inputs can be derived from observing query start and completion times, and how the mk-tcp-model tool from Maatkit can transform tcpdump output into the inputs you will need for tools such as Aspersa’s usl tool for applying the Universal Scalability Model.
