WCF 性能、延迟和可扩展性

Question

我正在尝试将 F# 中的简单异步 TCP 服务器移植到 C# 4。服务器接收连接、读取单个请求并在关闭连接之前流回一系列响应。

C# 4 中的异步看起来很乏味且容易出错，所以我想我应该尝试使用 WCF。该服务器不太可能在野外看到 1,000 个并发请求，因此我认为吞吐量和延迟都很重要。

我用 C# 编写了一个最小的双工 WCF Web 服务和控制台客户端。尽管我使用 WCF 而不是原始套接字，但这已经是 175 行代码，而原始代码为 80 行。但我更关心性能和可扩展性：

• WCF 的延迟要差 154 倍。
• WCF 的吞吐量降低了 54 倍。
• TCP 可以轻松处理 1,000 个同时连接，但 WCF 仅处理 20 个连接。

首先，我对所有内容都使用默认设置，所以我想知道是否可以调整任何内容来提高这些性能数据？

其次，我想知道是否有人使用 WCF 来做这种事情，或者它是否是适合这项工作的错误工具？

这是我的 C# 中的 WCF 服务器：

Answer 1

WCF 为其几乎所有默认值选择非常安全的值。这遵循了“不要让新手开发者开枪自杀”的理念。但是，如果您知道要更改的限制和要使用的绑定，则可以获得合理的性能和扩展。

在我的核心 i5-2400（四核，无超线程，3.10 GHz）上，下面的解决方案将运行 1000 个客户端，每个客户端 1000 个回调，平均总运行时间为 20 秒。这相当于 20 秒内 1,000,000 个 WCF 调用。

不幸的是，我无法运行您的 F# 程序来进行直接比较。如果您在您的机器上运行我的解决方案，您能否发布一些 F# 与 C# WCF 性能比较数据？

免责声明：以下内容旨在作为概念证明。其中一些设置对于生产没有意义。

我做了什么：

• 删除了双工绑定并让客户创建自己的双工绑定
  服务主机接收回调。这本质上就是一个
  双工绑定是在幕后进行的。 （这也是普拉蒂克的
  建议）
• 将绑定更改为 netTcpBinding。
• 更改的节流值：
  • WCF：最大并发调用数、最大并发会话数、
    maxConcurrentInstances 全部设置为 1000
  • TCP 绑定：maxConnections=1000
  • 线程池：最小工作线程 = 1000，最小 IO 线程 = 2000
• 在服务操作中添加了 IsOneWay

请注意，在此原型中所有服务和客户端位于同一个应用程序域并共享同一个线程池。

我学到了什么：

• 当客户端收到“无法建立连接，因为目标机器主动拒绝”异常时
  • 可能的原因：
    1. 已达到 WCF 限制
    2. 已达到 TCP 限制
    3. 没有 I/O 线程可用于处理该调用。
  • #3 的解决方案是：
    1. 增加最小 IO 线程数 - 或 -
    2. 让 StockService 在工作线程上执行回调（这确实会增加总运行时间）
• 添加 IsOneWay 将运行时间减少一半（从 40 秒减少到 20 秒）。

在 core i5-2400 上运行的程序输出。
请注意，计时器的使用方式与原始问题中的不同（请参阅代码）。

更新：
我刚刚使用 netNamedPipeBinding 尝试了上述解决方案：

  <netNamedPipeBinding >
    <binding name="pipeConfig" maxConnections="1000" >
      <security mode="None"/>
    </binding>
  </netNamedPipeBinding>

实际上慢了 3 秒（从 20 秒到 23 秒）。由于这个特定的示例都是进程间的，所以我不确定为什么。如果有人有一些见解，请发表评论。

Answer 2

首先回答你的第二个问题，与原始套接字相比，WCF 始终会产生开销。但与原始套接字相比，它具有大量功能（如安全性、可靠性、互操作性、多种传输协议、跟踪等），您是否可以接受这种权衡取决于您的场景。看起来您正在做一些金融交易应用程序，而 WCF 可能不适合您的情况（尽管我不在金融行业，无法以经验来证明这一点）。

对于您的第一个问题，不要尝试在客户端中托管一个单独的 WCF 服务，而不是双重 http 绑定，以便客户端本身可以成为一个服务，并在可能的情况下使用 netTCP 绑定。调整服务行为中 serviceThrotdling 元素中的属性。在 .Net 4 之前，默认值较低。

Answer 3

我想说这取决于你的目标。如果您想尽可能地推动您的硬件，那么当然可以轻松获得 10,000 多个连接的客户端，秘诀是最大限度地减少垃圾收集器上花费的时间并有效地使用套接字。

我在这里有一些关于 F# 中的套接字的帖子：http://moiraesoftware.com
