Appendix F. DNS Benchmark Data for Sun Enterprise Servers
This appendix contains benchmark results from a DNS benchmark running Berkeley Internet name domain (BIND) v8.1.2 and v9.1.0 on Solaris 8 and Sun Enterprise servers. (For more information, refer to the Sun DNS/BIND Benchmarking and Sizing Guide.) We use this data for making assumptions about performance when using the BIND for domain name services. This software is freely available from the Internet Software Consortium (ISC).
When designing an architecture, obtain benchmark performance results for the equipment you select, and use the data to predict performance and load.
This appendix contains the following topics:
The tables in this appendix are organized by version of BIND. The columns of the tables are defined TABLE F-1.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Server | Sun server platform |
| Number of CPUs | CPUs per DNS server |
| NIC Speed | Network interface speed |
| CPU Speed | CPU speed in MHz |
| System Memory | Amount of RAM in the system |
| Peak %user | Peak CPU utilization of DNS processes in user mode |
| Peak %sys | Peak CPU utilization of DNS processes in system mode |
| Peak %wio | Peak CPU utilization of DNS processes in waiting for block I/O |
| Peak rss | Peak resident set size of memory of DNS processes in Kbytes |
| Peak rps | Peak requests per second processed by the DNS server |
| Peak ipps | Peak inbound packets per second processed by DNS server |
| Peak opps | Peak outbound packets per second processed by DNS server |
| Peak imbps | Peak inbound data (mbps) processed by DNS server |
| Peak ombps | Peak outbound data (mbps) processed by DNS server |
