# multisocket
|
|
|
|
## Name
|
|
|
|
*multisocket* - allows to start multiple servers that will listen on one port.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
With *multisocket*, you can define the number of servers that will listen on the same port. The SO_REUSEPORT socket
|
|
option allows to open multiple listening sockets at the same address and port. In this case, kernel distributes incoming
|
|
connections between sockets.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this option allows to start multiple servers, which increases the throughput of CoreDNS in environments with a
|
|
large number of CPU cores.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
multisocket [NUM_SOCKETS]
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
* **NUM_SOCKETS** - the number of servers that will listen on one port. Default value is equal to GOMAXPROCS.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Start 5 TCP/UDP servers on the same port.
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
multisocket 5
|
|
forward . /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Do not define `NUM_SOCKETS`, in this case it will take a value equal to GOMAXPROCS.
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
multisocket
|
|
forward . /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations
|
|
|
|
The tests of the `multisocket` plugin, which were conducted for `NUM_SOCKETS` from 1 to 10, did not reveal any side
|
|
effects or performance degradation.
|
|
|
|
This means that the `multisocket` plugin can be used with a default value that is equal to GOMAXPROCS.
|
|
|
|
However, to achieve the best results, it is recommended to consider the specific environment and plugins used in
|
|
CoreDNS. To determine the optimal configuration, it is advisable to conduct performance tests with different
|
|
`NUM_SOCKETS`, measuring Queries Per Second (QPS) and system load.
|
|
|
|
If conducting such tests is difficult, follow these recommendations:
|
|
1. Determine the maximum CPU consumption of CoreDNS server without `multisocket` plugin. Estimate how much CPU CoreDNS
|
|
actually consumes in specific environment under maximum load.
|
|
2. Align `NUM_SOCKETS` with the estimated CPU usage and CPU limits or system's available resources.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
- If CoreDNS consumes 4 CPUs and 8 CPUs are available, set `NUM_SOCKETS` to 2.
|
|
- If CoreDNS consumes 8 CPUs and 64 CPUs are available, set `NUM_SOCKETS` to 8.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
The SO_REUSEPORT socket option is not available for some operating systems. It is available since Linux Kernel 3.9 and
|
|
not available for Windows at all.
|
|
|
|
Using this plugin with a system that does not support SO_REUSEPORT will cause an `address already in use` error.
