Description of changes:
While using the probes from #1866, I noticed that the sendmmsg syscall could take quite a long time (upwards of 1ms), especially when the total number of messages being sent was high.
One thing that did help was to use the multithreaded runtime and multiple TX sockets. This does increase CPU usage but also increases throughput and minimizes latency, since we're executing multiple syscalls in parallel, each with smaller buffers.
Call-outs:
I've made this an unstable option for now, in case we want to change how the socket initialization works. Currently, it just calls
try_clone()
on the single socket for each task, which might cause issues later down the line (not sure).Testing:
