Is there any modern review of solutions to the 100

Question

(Commonly called the C10K problem)

Is there a more contemporary review of solutions to the c10k problem (Last updated: 2 Sept 2006), specifically focused on Linux (epoll, signalfd, eventfd, timerfd..) and libraries like libev or libevent?

Something that discusses all the solved and still unsolved issues on a modern Linux server?

Answer 1

Have a look at the RamCloud project at Stanford: https://ramcloud.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RAM/RAMCloud

Their goal is 1,000,000 RPC operations/sec/server. They have numerous benchmarks and commentary on the bottlenecks that are present in a system which would prevent them from reaching their throughput goals.
