How much network traffic does your MySQL server receive?

with 12 comments

This is a quick informal poll. I’d like to know how much network traffic your server receives (not sends), in bytes per second. Give both avg and max if you have them. I’m especially interested in hearing about big, heavily loaded systems.

I’ll start things off: just by looking at a couple of customer systems, I see one customer’s server is at 56k and 79k per second. Another slightly larger one is pulling 76k average and 200k max. A third who pushes the systems really hard is doing 1020k/second average and 1408k/sec max.

What about you? Get your friends at big enterprises to say how much traffic they get, too. Let’s get a broad look at how much traffic comes into big workhorse MySQL servers.

  4. Each of our partitions has about 3Mbit/sec incoming for 2/3 of the day. It idles at about 1Mbit/sec for about 1/3 of the day. Each db server is on an Amazon EC2 4x box.

    I can send a snapshot of our metrics chart if you’re interested.

  5. We do about 350KB/s avg. Max is somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0MB/s I think (Innotop doesn’t list it, and I’m too lazy to find it elsewhere ;)

  7. From an email someone sent me:

    About 3500k/second on average, peaks at 4900k/second which is pretty high versus the figures in your blog post. It’s not a particularly busy master *however* we log 300-400 devices syslog into MySQL plus all of our Apaches send their access_log and error_log for entry too.
