    <p>thanks for having put things in the right perspective. I agree with you.</p> <p>I did some reading and found:</p> <ul> <li><p>Flickr: <a href="http://highscalability.com/flickr-architecture" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://highscalability.com/flickr-architecture</a><br/> 4 billion queries per day --> about 50000 queries/s</p></li> <li><p>Youtube: <a href="http://highscalability.com/youtube-architecture" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://highscalability.com/youtube-architecture</a><br/> 100 million video views/day --> about 1200 video views/second</p></li> <li><p>PlentyOfFish: <a href="http://highscalability.com/plentyoffish-architecture" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://highscalability.com/plentyoffish-architecture</a><br/> 600 pages/second<br/> 200 Mbps used<br/> CDN used</p></li> <li><p>Twitter: <a href="http://highscalability.com/scaling-twitter-making-twitter-10000-percent-faster" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://highscalability.com/scaling-twitter-making-twitter-10000-percent-faster</a><br/> 300 tweets/second<br/> 600 req/s</p></li> </ul> <p>A very top end LB like <a href="http://www.f5.com/pdf/products/viprion-overview-ds.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> can scale up :</p> <ul> <li>200,000 SSL handshakes per second </li> <li>1 million TCP connections per second</li> <li>3.2 million HTTP requests per second </li> <li>36 Gbps of TCP or HTTP throughput</li> </ul> <p>Therefore, you are right a LB could hardly become a bottleneck.</p> <p>Anyway I found this (old) article <a href="http://www.tenereillo.com/GSLBPageOfShame.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.tenereillo.com/GSLBPageOfShame.htm</a> where it is explained that geo-aware DNS could create availability issues.</p> <p>Could someone comment on that article?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Valentino</p>
