Re: [Sks-devel] Unusual traffic for key 0x69D2EAD9 and 0xB33B4659

[Martin Dobrev]

Hi,

My observations so far show that both keys generate  2+ TB/month traffic on average for all my clustered nodes. I'm running nginx + Varnish in-memory cache tuned at 5 minutes TTL which gives plenty of CPU cycles for the never-ending EventLoop alarm loops. The latter cause load-average spikes of up to 10 with just 4 Docker containers running on a 12 core system.

Don't get me wrong. The throttling penalty is something I'd swallow-up as long as we keep the network running. 

Regards,

Martin

Just to add a comment on this, adding a cache on the load-balancer is
really a nice way to slow down hits on the underlying SKS nodes, I keep
cache for 10 minutes in nginx, which really makes life more pleasant.
