I havn't done any testing yet, but I'm sure the LFDS will way out-perform the WIN32 FDS for various reasons. The Linux kernel has superior multitasking and TCP/IP stack. With a Linux server, you have almost all of the machine resources...unlike windows where the GUI and all the stupid MS services are consuming memory and CPU cycles. The LFDS also seems to require less RAM on Linux.
One test I have performed was getting v00d00 to DDOS the game server port with firewall probe packets. Even while this was going on and the LFDS was responding to every packet, the CPU usage was "0.0%"

I have a FreeBSD 6 (RELEASE) and a FreeBSD 5.3 box I wouldn't mind testing it on.
Planning on running a public server on one of those (Most likely the 6-RELEASE box), and would love to test it whenever you have something workable ready.

Let me know once you have a working GSA LFDS that is using/can use the latest scripts.dll builds (there is a rh7 and rh8 build so you have to find which one works for freebsd).
|
What gcc/binutils/glibc versions are required by the LFDS builds? Please don't tell me "what comes with rh7/8", as my only Linux box runs Debian "Sarge".

Time for an update I guess. Once scripts.dll 2.7.1 was released, XWISP seems to be working fine. I am cleaning up the code to prepare for releasing a beta.
Once SSAOW 1.6 is released, I will be putting up a 50 player LFDS with all the bells and whistles (ssaow+brenbot), with a decently high a000 nickname in hopes that enough people will join that I can do a real stress test.
So far I have had a max of 13 players playing on my test server, and during this time renegade was using 13% CPU, XWISP itself was using little to no CPU at all, and brenbot (1.43) was using 4% CPU.
I'm anxious to see how the server performs with 32+ players, if it happens I will let you know the outcome.
As for the beta test, I am getting lots of requests already to test XWISP. Please bear with me and wait until I publically release the beta. Also please bear in mind that I only intend to support XWISP itself. I cannot help people install and troubleshoot linux issues.
XWISP was designed for people who already have a linux GSA server that they wish to be on XWIS/WOL as well. I realize some people may want to switch from a win32 FDS to Linux, especially if it performs better, but it's simply not my job or desire to handhold people through learning to install and use the linux OS. I also don't recommend installing linux in a vmware window to use XWISP (more than one person has asked me about this) - it totally cancelles out the advantage of using linux over win32 in the first place.
Okay enough rambling, just wanted to post an update. Feel free to ask any questions or relavant comments.

"Soon" I have two things I need to do first:
1. Testing of the LFDS has revealed than banning GSA players no longer works. I'm not sure if its the latest scripts.dll, or other LFDS patches we applied that broke it. The ban issue isn't an XWISP-specific problem, but I plan on releasing XWISP along with the latest scripts.dll (have to, since XWISP relies on a function in it), and if that scripts.dll breaks GSA banning, then I would be releasing something which breaks the LFDS...not good.
2. I want to do some testing with ssaow 1.6 when it's released (any day now?) to make sure it's compatible (again XWISP relies on a function that is in scripts.dll which is also merged into ssaow).
So I need to do some testing to resolve the gsa banning problem, and hopefully ssaow 1.6 will be out soon and then I can put up a fully featured 50 player server and stress test the hell out of it.

I don't know if I told you on IRC yet, but my main computer is dead right now. So I can't do any work on SSAOW.
