Performance Issues with Routinator Containers about mini_internet_project HOT 6 OPEN

Since the performance problems got prestering I fixed it right now by restarting and reconfiguring the routinator containers. At the moment load seems to be as expected.

I did some further testing by recording pcaps on the routinator and the krill container. The rsync connections between the routinator and the krill containers generate aroung 7-8 MB (!) traffic in about one minute.

Hey, thanks for investigating this.

Do you know if this traffic between Routinator and Krill always happens, or was that a one-off thing?

Hi Alex,
thx for getting back! It happened midth of May and I solved it by restarting all the routinator containers (as mentioned above). It then again happened around start of June but then disappeared again without doing anything. And it its happening again at the moment. How can I assist in diagnosing the root cause?
Best regards

Unfortunately I am not very familiar with routinator. @KTrel, do you have any idea what could be causing these overheads?

@mark-hgb, do you have any idea whether some specific update commands or anything might be prompting the overheads, or whether its just regular routinator operations?

I am sorry, but I am not able to shed some more light on this. It all started even before sync sessions with the routinator containers were configured by the students on their BGP routers. So the state of the routinator containers was that they were configured with an IP address and a gateway and therefore were able to communicate and sync with the krill host. With that in mind I would say it all happened during regular routinator operations.

Still, thank you for the report. We'll see if we can find anything.
