Are you looking at scaling the numbers of tenants, Neutron routers, and 
tenant networks as you scale hosts and guests?  I think this is a 
plausible way to grow.  The compartmentalizations that comes with growing 
those things may make a difference in results.

Thanks,
Mike

Subject:        [openstack-dev] [neutron] Neutron scaling datapoints?



My team is working on experiments looking at how far the Neutron server
will scale, with increasing numbers of compute hosts and VMs.  Does
anyone have any datapoints on this that they can share?  Or any clever
hints?

I'm already aware of the following ones:

https://javacruft.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/168k-instances/
 Icehouse
 118 compute hosts
 80 Neutron server processes (10 per core on each of 8 cores, on the
 controller node)
 27,000 VMs - but only after disabling all security/iptables

http://www.opencontrail.org/openstack-neutron-at-scale/
 1000 hosts
 5000 VMs
 3 Neutron servers (via a load balancer)
 But doesn't describe if any specific configuration is needed for this.
 (Other than using OpenContrail! :-))

Many thanks!
     Neil
