Kornephoros

[EMULE 13]

Did everyone notice?
The Kornephoros server achieved astonishing speeds today.
As a 10Gbps server, it loaded over 5Gbps of bandwidth.
I've never seen such speeds on any 10Gbps server before.
What makes this server different from other 10Gbps servers?
Is it the unprecedentedly powerful hardware, the data center's network environment, or AirVPN's optimization of the server's kernel?
Staff can take a look and use this information to optimize other 10Gbps servers.
Kornephoros is truly unexpected.

I've seen this happen on Vindemiatrix, and I think it happened on Taiyangshou today as well (maximum is 4.8 Gb/s but that is average so likely it did surpass 5 Gb/s). I still wonder why overall bandwidth utilization of 10 Gbps servers are low (<50%), is this just due to scaling?

I'm also confused.
Perhaps the hardware isn't powerful enough?
A 1Gbps server can handle 100+ users with 80% bandwidth utilization.
This means a 10Gbps server would need 1000+ users to achieve the same 80% bandwidth utilization.
However, in reality, a 10Gbps server experiences a significant speed drop when handling 300+ users, seemingly unable to keep up.
It would be better to label it as a 3Gbps or 5Gbps server, as the actual speed difference from the advertised 10Gbps is substantial.
If that's the case, it would be better to replace one 10Gbps server with ten 1Gbps servers.
Maybe that's the case?
I think AirVPN may have leased a 10Gbps network in the data center, but the servers can't handle that 10Gbps network.
Isn't that a waste of resources?
I think AirVPN can increase the number of 1Gbps servers as much as possible to make full use of network bandwidth, which would also save on server costs for AirVPN, wouldn't it?

Maximum of 7.3 Gb/s on Terebellum. I think most users are probably not using that much bandwidth to push the 10 Gb/s servers to their max.

That's incredible!

It seems the server hardware wasn't that bad; perhaps it was just maintained two days ago? Or maybe the hardware was replaced?

I see that this server only has 280+ users. Could it be a user issue? More users using the Wireguard protocol can indeed bring higher bandwidth usage.

If the AmneziaWG protocol becomes widespread, it would be incredible if even 10G servers could be fully utilized.😄😄😄
