Performance Banchmark

The performance benchmark for SRS, compare with nginx-rtmp single process.

Provides detail benchmark steps.

The latest data, read performance.

Hardware

The client and server use lo net interface to test:

  • Hardware: VirtualBox on ThinkPad T430
  • OS: CentOS 6.0 x86_64 Linux 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
  • CPU: 3 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz
  • Memory: 2007MB

OS

Login as root, set the fd limits:

  • Set limit: ulimit -HSn 10240
  • View the limit:
[root@dev6 ~]# ulimit -n
10240
  • Restart SRS：sudo /etc/init.d/srs restart

NGINX-RTMP

NGINX-RTMP version and build command.

  • NGINX: nginx-1.5.7.tar.gz
  • NGINX-RTMP: nginx-rtmp-module-1.0.4.tar.gz
  • Read nginx-rtmp
  • Build:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../_release \
--add-module=`pwd`/../nginx-rtmp-module-1.0.4 \
--with-http_ssl_module && make && make install
  • Config nginx：_release/conf/nginx.conf 
user  root;
worker_processes  1;
events {
    worker_connections  10240;
}
rtmp{
    server{
        listen 19350;
        application live{
            live on;
        }
    }
}
  • The limit of fd:
[root@dev6 nginx-rtmp]# ulimit -n
10240
  • Start: ./_release/sbin/nginx
  • Check nginx started:
[root@dev6 nginx-rtmp]# netstat -anp|grep 19350
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:19350               0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      6486/nginx

SRS

SRS version and build.

  • SRS: SRS 0.9
  • Build: ./configure && make
  • Config SRS：conf/srs.conf 
listen              1935;
max_connections     10240;
vhost __defaultVhost__ {
    gop_cache       on;
    forward         127.0.0.1:19350;
}
  • Check limit fds:
[root@dev6 trunk]# ulimit -n
10240
  • Start SRS: nohup ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 &
  • Check SRS started:
[root@dev6 trunk]# netstat -anp|grep "1935 "
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1935                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      6583/srs

Publish and Play

Use centos to publish RTMP:

  • Start FFMPEG:
for((;;)); do \
    ./objs/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg \
        -re -i doc/source.200kbps.768x320.flv \
        -acodec copy -vcodec copy \
        -f flv -y rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/livestream; \
    sleep 1; 
done
  • SRS RTMP stream URL: rtmp://192.168.2.101:1935/live/livestream
  • Online play SRS RTMP: Online Player
  • Nginx-RTMP stream URL: rtmp://192.168.2.101:19350/live/livestream
  • Online play nginx-rtmp RTMP: Online Player

Client

The RTMP load test tool, read srs-bench

The sb_rtmp_load used to test RTMP load, support 800-3k concurrency for each process.

  • Build: ./configure && make
  • Start: ./objs/sb_rtmp_load -c 800 -r <rtmp_url>

Record Data

Record data before test:

  • Use top command：
srs_pid=`ps aux|grep srs|grep conf|awk '{print $2}'`; \
nginx_pid=`ps aux|grep nginx|grep worker|awk '{print $2}'`; \
load_pids=`ps aux|grep objs|grep sb_rtmp_load|awk '{ORS=",";print $2}'`; \
top -p $load_pids$srs_pid,$nginx_pid
  • The connections:
srs_connections=`netstat -anp|grep srs|grep ESTABLISHED|wc -l`; \
nginx_connections=`netstat -anp|grep nginx|grep ESTABLISHED|wc -l`; \
echo "srs_connections: $srs_connections"; \
echo "nginx_connections: $nginx_connections";
  • The bandwidth in NBps:
[root@dev6 nginx-rtmp]# dstat -N lo 30
----total-cpu-usage---- -dsk/total- -net/lo- ---paging-- ---system--
usr sys idl wai hiq siq| read  writ| recv  send|  in   out | int   csw
