Or perhaps there is a single > rsyncd instance (in which case 150 definitely is too low). We have described our rsync infrastructure extensively in earlier messages (e.g. [0]). There are multiple instances behind a load-balancer. The current storage is on NFS which has a performance limitation - it peaked at about 80K operations/second (2m average). We will follow up with a more detailed post-mortem. Kind regards, Ties [0]: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/routing-wg/2021-June/004351.html
