There was a topic like this discussed earlier this year, but I think with 10,000+ you would be out there on the frontier. However, you will definitely need redundant/load balanced servers and if you want to use certificates, a hardware SSL accellerator card in each server. As servers, you might wanna consider Dual Xeon's, like 2.8Ghz each. Memory usage is not that high, so 2 - 4GB should be fine. With the hardware SSL accellerator, each server should be able to handle 1,000+ clients, or more. Geoff Nordli wrote a little howto for failover, you can find it in the archives with the title "mini-howto: Create redundant openvpn servers with linux-ha heartbeat", posted on Tue 2/22/2005. Of course, take car of your bandwidth, too! -----Original Message----- From: Mario Gonzalez [mailto:mario.gonzalez@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 5:41 AM To: openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Openvpn-users] Scalability? Hi, we are currently in the process of evaluating openvpn for use in one of our projects. The project would include the use of 10000+ clients. Openvpn docs state that it scales to 'hundreds or thousands of users', but what about further scalability? Does anyone have any experience with such a high number of clients? How would it impact the server-side? Is it possible to do? br mario; ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users Warning: require_once(../../../archive_common.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2005-03/msg00028.html on line 212 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../../archive_common.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2005-03/msg00028.html on line 212 |
