Baseline performance tests results

Results presented here show the maximum throughput of Kea using:

• A very basic Kea configuration
• The simplest traffic characteristics
• Results presented here showing top performance of single Kea setup (one server) and High Availability setup (two connected servers in the network)
• All tests here are type A - which are calculating top performance. Calculated rate will be used in tests type B.

Kea configuration

Tests here are using simplest configuration possible with default configuration.

• one subnet with one pool (/8 for v4 and /64 for v6)
• no options
• no host reservations
• no client classification
• lease lifetimes are longer than test duration (to prevent renewals)
• default values are used everywhere possible (e.g. congestion control disabled, LFC enabled for memfile)

Traffic characteristics

ISC's perfdhcp generates simple DORA/SARR exchanges without any additional options or option requests. Normally we configure perfdhcp to simulate up to 500 million different clients (to avoid repeating any client IDs in the course of a single test) unless it's stated differently in the test description.

Different Thread settings

These tests use the basic Kea configuration described in the baseline test report with the simplest traffic characteristics. Other than thread count, the configuration is exactly the same as that used in the "Baseline results" test.

1. The first of these tests (results in the bar charts below) measures how the different Kea backends respond to variation in the number of threads used. The results of this test show that different Kea configurations require different settings for `thread-pool-size` to achieve optimum performance, measured in leases per second.

2. The second test (results in the line charts below) are using the value of `thread-pool-size` which had the highest results for that scenario from the first test. We vary the `packet-queue-size` value and measure the leases per second . This test shows that the optimum queue size depends on the Kea configuration.

We use the thread count settings ("thread-pool-size" and "packet-queue-size") that provide the optimum results from this test to establish the thread count configuration for the other tests included in this report.

How various ways of host reservations configurations affect Kea performance

Each test has an additional description. Set of bar charts display results comparison of single runs presented in second part of this page.

This page contains a history of the baseline performance testing results to help in detecting changes in performance.
All charts have their own scale. Although comparison would be easier if we used the same scale across all charts, it would be harder to see the changes in performance for the slower backends. For comparison between backends please go to baseline results.

Performance testing report

Welcome to the Kea performance testing report, this document is generated automatically after each test run.
In the section "Testing setup" we describe the common factors that apply to all tests. Specific test details and explanations can be found with the results.

Kea performance test types

All tests in this report can be divided into two groups. The first type (A) is where we are calculating the top performance of this Kea version, and the second type (B) is where we are testing Kea with different features, settings, or longer periods of time to observe the impact of various configurations and features, as compared with the maximum throughput measured in (A).

How maximum performance is calculated

Calculating the maximum performance is a multistage process, with a couple of assumptions:

• We use the simplest possible configuration, mostly default settings.
• We gradually increase the generated traffic rate until the packet drop rate reaches 2,5% (meaning 2,5% of all responses sent by the server do not reach the client within 1 second).
• The 2,5% drop rate was chosen because it represents a busy, but not overloaded, server. A 0% drop rate does not show the maximum throughput and a higher drop rate is undesirable in production.

Report Details

• In the "Single Kea and HA setup" tab we present testing results for a single Kea server and for two Kea servers running in High Availability configuration, both with and without multi-threading enabled. These are type A tests, determining the maximum performance of this version of Kea.
• In the "Multi-threading settings" tab we determine how different multi-threading settings ("thread-pool-size" and "packet-queue-size") affect performance for all three lease backends. These are type A tests, used to determine the optimum settings to achieve the maximum performance of this version of Kea. These optimal settings are used in subsequent tests.
• In the "Host Reservations" tab we present the performance impact of using host-reservations with different settings (e.g. looking at the difference between out of pool and in pool reservation, or between subnet and global reservations). These are type B tests that use the thread settings from the type A tests and compare the results.
• Most Kea deployments will use multiple subnets or shared networks. The "Subnets" tab compares Kea performance configured with hundreds of subnets and networks to the maximum baseline performance. These are type B tests using previously calculated traffic rates from A. We measure the impact of adding subnets on the memfile, MySQL, and PostgreSQL lease file scenarios. Tests 1, 3, and 5 use 100 subnets, tests 2, 4, and 6 use 200 subnets, so you can see the incremental performance difference.
• The "Resource Consumption" and "Stability" reports present traffic details, CPU, and MEM utilization over a longer time for all lease backends. Those are tests type (B) that are using previously calculated traffic rates. These tests are primarily useful for the development team.
• The "Various Features" tab contains testing results for forensic logging and lease caching. These are type B tests that are using previously calculated traffic rates.
• The "HA stability" tab contains results of longer running tests for all High Availability setup (hot-standby, load-balancing, passive-backup).
• The "History of basic results" tab tracks the results of the "Single Kea and HA setup" baseline over time.

Testing setup

Network

Testing is performed in ISC's internal network and uses 3 systems. Two are running Kea and database backends (specifications below) and one is running perfdhcp. All three are connected to one VLAN using 1 gigabit ethernet network.

Hardware specs - R340 server

• CPU Intel Xeon E-2146G 3.5GHz 6 cores/12 threads
• 64GB RAM
• 3 x SSDs 446GB each in HW RAID-0 configuration (virtual disk size 1338GB)
• Intel(R) 10GbE 2P X710 Adapter (2 ports)
• Intel(R) GbE 4P I350-t Adapter (4 ports)
• Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet BCM5720 (2 ports)

OS details, software versions

Tests were executed using:

• OS - Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
• MariaDB - 1:10.6.12-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
• Postgresql - 238
• boost - 1.74.0.3ubuntu7
• openssl - 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.10
• Kea - 2.4.0

Test Design

• Maximum performance is measured when packet loss reaches 2.5%. This is assumed to be the maximum acceptable rate of packet loss.
• If Kea is using a database backend, the database is always located on the same system as Kea.
• A packet is considered to have been dropped when the response doesn't reach perfdhcp within 2 seconds of the initial packet.

Kea configuration

Configurations vary between tests and test types, details are described with the test results.
If not stated explicitly in the test description Kea has default configuration values.

Database configuration

• Databases are running on the same systems as Kea (connection delays between Kea server and database is negligible)
• MariaDB is configured with innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=2 as described in the KEA ARM. Nothing else has been changed.
• The postgresql is configured with synchronous_commit=off as described in the KEA ARM. Nothing else has been changed.

Default clients behaviour

Unless stated differently in the test, only the basic 4 message exchange (SARR and DORA) is generated. No release/renew or rebind packets are generated.
Each client performs an exchange just once. Perfdhcp will simulate up to 500 million unique clientIDs so Kea will not recognize any client as returning.
Messages do not include any additional options, except those necessary to get an address from the DHCP server.

Traffic generator

We use the traffic generator "perfdhcp" for all tests. "perfdhcp" is developed by ISC and is available in Kea source/packages.
We encourage the user to refer to the KEA ARM for more details.

Disclaimers

Performance testing results are volatile, multiple factors have to be taken into account e.g.: hardware, OS type, network, database location (local, remote), compilation CXX flags etc.
The results shown in this report are what we were able to observe within our testing network - they are not necessarily representative of what will be observed in another network.
The Kea development team takes performance and stability very seriously - please report any irregularities you observe on your network to the kea-users mailing list.

ISC strongly recommends making yourself familiar with the Kea performance optimization article.
