[Freeswitch-users] Does freeswitch forks his processes?

[Bote Man]

Is FreeSWITCH starting with root permissions? It needs this in order to use the FIFO scheduler and access realtime threads. If not started as root, this would explain your CPS limitations. There are also limits that can be set in the config files.

 

After it starts it drops privileges to those specified on the command line with –u and –g switches.

 

FreeSWITCH uses multi-threading. I do not know about htop, but maybe it is showing the multiple threads?

 

top –H shows each thread.

Hey guys,

I have a question about freeswitch process/threading usage.
So far that I haven't noticed freeswitch to fork himself, I have only 1 freeswitch instance.

But then I found screenshot of htop with freeswitch and noticed that there is multiple freeswitch processes being run:

I'm having issues with "loading" the freeswitch after 50 cps in any cpu/ram configuration.
Be it physical or virtual environment I cant pass the 50 cps mark.
I have strange issue with CPU usage on same CPS:

I timeload test freeswitch with 50cps for 5+ hours, and seems like there is some kind of leak somewhere.
I have tested configuration on:
Debian 8
2 core/8 gb ram
4 core/8 gb ram (graphs are from here)
8 core/32 gb ram

and in all the tests I were not able to send more than 50 cps without CPU dropping to 0 with all system starting to respond really laggy.

Test is:
sipp -> freeswitch -> sipp

Just 1 dialpeer with bridge action. No gateways. Just simple dialplan and 1 profile...
Any advice?

Thank you all
