In theory a recompile of Python2 should fix this but I tried and with the ''FD_SETSIZE'' changed from 1024 to 65536 I got buffer overflow errors in Python after 340 connections. So to work around this I also wrote a Bash script that spawns multiple instances of the Python script (''filiminSwarms2.sh''). | 238]], [[https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.python/issues/499|499]]) the script can only connect 340 lamps in a single Python instance.

| * ''filiminSwarms2.sh'' was able to create 60 swarms of 340 lamps each, grouped in 3s with each lamp in group touched every 5 to 7 seconds (''filiminSwarms2.sh 60 3 5 7 0'') on an 8GB 4CPU Linode VM. That's a total of 20,400 lamps. | * ''filiminSwarms2.sh'' was able to create 58 swarms of 340 lamps each, grouped in 3s with each lamp in group touched every 120 to 150 seconds (''filiminSwarms2.sh 58 3 120 150 0'') on an 8GB 4CPU Linode VM. That's a total of 19,720 lamps. At 67 swarms the ephemeral port range appears to become an issue |
| * The script broke at 100 swarms | * The current Linode haproxy load balancer (haproxyMaster) is 8GB/4 dedicated CPUs. It successfully handled the load of 11 load testers (11 * 19720 = 216920 lamps). There were 12 mosquitto nodes connected to it at less than 10% CPU. Sync service was around 50-60% CPU. |
| * Only 30 swarms ran successfully on 4GB 2CPU VM (broke at 40) | |
