    <p>I've enabled SSL on my proxy server and found that the performance has dropped from around 17k requests per second to 5k request per second. I followed the code in Netty's secure chat example and I don't think I've done anything differently.</p> <p>I've written a dummy server to see if I've made some mistakes on my proxy. Running the dummy SSL server in normal http mode is capable of around 50k request per second. When I enable SSL on the dummy server that drops to 28k requests per second.</p> <p>Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Is there something I'm missing?</p> <p>I'm using JDK 6 to compile the code, running on JDK 7u4. I'm using Netty-3.5.0 as well. I'm using zeusbench to run the test. The test parameters are: zeusbench -n 10000 -c 100 -k -C RC4_SHA "https:///"</p> <p>Source: <a href="http://pastebin.com/iahqr3zT" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/iahqr3zT</a></p> <p><strong>Edit 1:</strong> I've run the dummy server through JProfiler. The SSLContext.createSSLEngine call in the pipeline factory takes (on average) 55,005 microseconds (that average has been calculated from 540 invocations of the method).</p> <p>The SslHandler.handshake call in channelConnected takes (on average) 46,284 microseconds (that average has been calculated from 540 invocations of the method).</p> <p>I understand there isn't much Netty can do about the call to createSSLEngine, but could the SslHandler.handshake be tuned any better? Its taking almost as long as the generation of the engine itself.</p>

    1. CODo you have the possibility to terminate the SSL before the request is reaching your server? Ideally you could use dedicated hardware to terminate the SSL. Amazons Elastic Load Balancer can do this as well. What is the length of the SSL key? The length of the key has impact on performance http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/cryptography/rsa_key_length.shtml

    2. CO@JohnP Thanks for the reply. Terminating the SSL before reaching my server is not a possibility. Thanks for the tip on the length of the SSL key, its 2048

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
