<div dir="ltr">Hello.<div><br></div><div>cache_dir max-swap-rate documentation says that swap in requests contribute to measured swap rate. However in our squid 4 load test we see that read_ops + write_ops significantly exceeds the max-swap-rate we set and squid doesn't limit it.</div><div><br></div><div>I tried to set it to 200 to confirm that it actually works and saw that it does. Squid started warning about exceeding max-swap-rate. But looks like real limit is higher than the value we set in configuration.</div><div><br></div><div>Hardware:<br></div><div><br></div><div>AWS GP2 EBS (SSD) 600GB, 1500 iops baseline performance, 3000 iops burstable.</div><div><br></div><div>Config:</div><div><br></div><div>cache_dir rock /mnt/services/squid/cache 435200 swap-timeout=500 max-swap-rate=1200 slot-size=16384<br></div><div><br></div><div>IOPS squid pushes under our load test:</div><div><br></div><div>read ~800 ops/sec</div><div>write ~1100 ops/sec</div><div><br></div><div>In summary it gives us ~1900 ops/sec which exceeds AWS limit of 1500 ops/sec and after spending too much "burst balance" we started getting throttled from AWS side.</div><div><br></div><div>Could you please comment on this behavior?
