hmm. you *could* move the port to 8088 of course. :-)
I wish I was that clever - next time!
Current stats:
Uptime: 51:38
Total connections: 5668
Requests served: 6617
Packets sent: 122562
Packets received: 103766
Packets retransmitted: 832
Sequence or ACK errors: 815
Dropped (no space): 1
The dropped part is interesting; that means that something sent the
server data so fast (or so much of it) that the machine could not even
buffer the data fast enough, and some of the data got thrown away. It
would have been recovered when the other side retransmitted, but still
that's hard to do if the other side was just sending HTTP requests.
The logs will be interesting; I'll be able to see how many of the
connections were honest HTTP requests vs. bots or other things. I don't
have a full packet trace running, but there is enough in the logs to
make a meaningful analysis of the traffic.
The retransmit rate is running at 0.6% of transmitted packets, which is
very good overall. A packet can be lost anywhere along the way and I'm
sure that some of the paths take 15 to 25 hops easily.
