Hello!
has anybody tried measuring net4j's bandwidth/network stats when dealing with CDO connections? I've been looking through net4j's API to check if there's any management interface to query for network stats but I couldn't find any.

I assume I can use some tcpdump based scripts, but having this info on a management interface would help to integrate this stats into a client.

Regards,
Guido

Hi,

I recently looked into this a bit (To get an understanding of B/W as well).
I tried a couple of things. First you can turn on tracing on Net4j, this will dump information on channels, streams, buffers. So it could give you an ID of what is happening. You would need to backward engineer the dumps, to make statistics out of it.

I also took a trace with Wireshark on the port 2036 (Which is the default I believe for TCP).
Wireshark coudn't interpret the Net4J, but perhaps it would be doable to create such a Wireshark dissector: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html
(It's C, so a bit of IDE setup would be needed).

What would be needed is some basic description of is to be expected on the wire.
Cheers Christophe

I thought about checking it with Wireshark, too... after all, what I'd
like to know is the average b/w needed for our application's operations,
so I can have a better understanding on our app's b/w requirements and
discover any limitations in infrastructure due to these requirements.

OTOH, having this at a Net4J level would help to better isolate and
identify different scenarios that could appear... for instance, it might
be interesting to identify b/w due to delta notifications vs b/w due to
model access/modification, and then make some tests to know how this
might be affected by the number of concurrent clients working on a model.

I could create the dissector, it doesn't seem hard at all, but I don't
know if the info I could obtain from it would be as useful as having the
same info directly on net4j.

Hi Guido,

I like the idea of having this kind of data available at the Net4j API level but there's not much, yet. An
ISignalProtocol fires SignalScheduledEvents and SignalFinishedEvents (I use them in the new offline example application
to visualize the fail-over heartbeat signals) but they don't know/carry payload sizes. An IChannel fires SendQueueEvents
but, again, those do not allow to derive paylod sizes. Maybe these infos give you some ideas. If you want to work on a
contributable patch I'd be happy to review it.

Cheers
/Eike
