The
asynch_mode_nginxprovides high CPS for small, short-lived flows, and Intel enables QAT by default on most of Intel Xeon processors.However, current example nginx configuration file,
nginx.QAT-sample.confis not practical real-world high-CPS workloads for the following reasons:sudoprivilege (to access QAT HW):As a result, the nginx worker processes are limited to a soft limit of 1024 file descriptors by default.
In my testing,
asynch_mode_nginxwith the providednginx.QAT-sample.confsupports only up to 476 concurrent connections. When the concurrency exceeds this level, nginx fails to register new event file descriptors due to file descriptor exhaustion.Changes made
nginx.QAT-sample.conf:This sets the file descriptor limit for nginx worker processes to 1048576, which is the default hard limit on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.
With this change, I verified that
asynch_mode_nginxoperates correctly with up to 2K concurrent connections.
