You might be running into semi-invisible/not widely publicised (but definitely very real)
PPS limits on given instance sizes.

Hi Guys,
I am running a simple REGISTER load test on:
1) Kamailio sever with 2 cores - mem 5G
2) Kamailio server with 4 cores - mem 16G
Both are EC2 instances.
At -r = 500 i.e. 500 reg/sec sipP test works fine with very few
re-trans.
But when i increase it to 800 reg/sec it starts retransmissions in
bulk.
I don't see server's CPU, load-avg or memory shooting. Running
everything
by default, even using kamctl to start the instance. So I have not
tuned
any params yet.
My main concern is how can I make server choke and get its actual
capacity,
and avoid these retransmissions as apparently kamailio is not even
utilizing 2 cores and CPU usage is under 10 always.
Results of both server is same i.e. 500 reg/sec max so I am sure there
is
some problem that needs a fix, but need some hints here.
Also used multiple SIPp's to rule out if it is SIPp issue, but after
500 I
see same problem.

JSZ
