Performance Tests
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
### Test setup
|
|
|
|
Sender node:
|
|
* Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2540M CPU @ 2.60GHz
|
|
* 8 GiB Ram
|
|
* Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network
|
|
* Ubuntu 14.04 (Kernel 3.13.0-65-generic)
|
|
|
|
Receiver node:
|
|
* Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
|
|
* 16 GiB Ram
|
|
* Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 Gigabit Network
|
|
* Ubuntu 14.04 (Kernel 3.13.0-63-generic)
|
|
|
|
VpnCloud version: `VpnCloud v0.4.3, protocol version 1, libsodium 1.0.8 (AES256: true)`
|
|
|
|
The sender runs the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$> ./vpncloud -t tap -l SENDER:3210 -c RECEIVER:3210 \
|
|
--ifup 'ifconfig $IFNAME 10.2.1.1/24 mtu 1400 up' &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and the receiver runs:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$> ./vpncloud -t tap -l RECEIVER:3210 -c SENDER:3210 \
|
|
--ifup 'ifconfig $IFNAME 10.2.1.2/24 mtu 1400 up' &
|
|
$> iperf -s &
|
|
$> top
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For encrypted tests, `--shared-key test --crypto METHOD` is appended.
|
|
|
|
For increased MTU tests `mtu 7000` is used in `--ifup`.
|
|
|
|
### Throughput
|
|
|
|
The throughput is measured with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$> iperf -c DST -t 30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The test is run in 3 steps:
|
|
* Native throughput without VpnCloud (`DST` is the native address of the receiver)
|
|
* Throughput via VpnCloud (`DST` is `10.2.1.2`)
|
|
* Encrypted throughput via VpnCloud (`DST` is `10.2.1.2`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Throughput test | Bandwidth | CPU usage (one core) |
|
|
| --------------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------- |
|
|
| Without VpnCloud | 920 Mbits/sec | - |
|
|
| Unencrypted VpnCloud | 882 Mbits/sec | 80% / 95% |
|
|
| Encrypted VpnCloud (ChaCha20) | 787 Mbits/sec | 90% / 90% |
|
|
| Encrypted VpnCloud (AES256) | 838 Mbits/sec | 85% / 85% |
|
|
| Unencrypted VpnCloud (MTU 7000) | 923 Mbits/sec | 75% / 75% |
|
|
| Encrypted VpnCloud (ChaCha20, MTU 7000) | 919 Mbits/sec | 75% / 75% |
|
|
| Encrypted VpnCloud (AES256, MTU 7000) | 926 Mbits/sec | 75% / 75% |
|
|
|
|
### Latency
|
|
|
|
The latency is measured with the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
$> ping DST -c 30000 -i 0.001 -s SIZE -U -q
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For all the test, the best average RTT out of 3 runs is selected. The latency is
|
|
assumed to be half of the RTT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Payload size | 100 bytes | 500 bytes | 1000 bytes |
|
|
| ----------------------------- | --------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
|
|
| Without VpnCloud | 159 µs | 166 µs | 174 µs |
|
|
| Unencrypted VpnCloud | 221 µs (+62 µs) | 231 µs (+65 µs) | 242 µs (+68 µs) |
|
|
| Encrypted VpnCloud (ChaCha20) | 235 µs (+14 µs) | 248 µs (+17 µs) | 262 µs (+20 µs) |
|
|
| Encrypted VpnCloud (AES256) | 227 µs ( +6 µs) | 238 µs ( +7 µs) | 255 µs (+13 µs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Conclusion
|
|
|
|
* VpnCloud achieves over 850 MBit/s with default MTU settings.
|
|
* In encrypted mode, VpnCloud reaches over 800 MBit/s with default MTU settings.
|
|
* With increased MTU, VpnCloud reaches over 900 Mbit/s, encrypted and unencrypted.
|
|
* VpnCloud adds about 70µs to the latency.
|
|
* Encryption adds an additional latency up to 20µs.
