Oddness with reading /proc/net/tcp

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Reading data from /proc/net/tcp is slower with progress of reading data, 
tested on system with >200k active connections.

Sample code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  struct timeval starttime, endtime;
  FILE * fd;
  char buf[1024*1024*4];
  int pk;
  fd=fopen("/proc/net/tcp","r");
  gettimeofday(&starttime,0);
  pk=0;
  while (!feof(fd) && pk<10000)
    {
      fread(buf, 1, 1024, fd);
      pk++;
      if (pk%512==0)
      {
        gettimeofday(&endtime,0);
        printf("%d %ld\n",pk, (endtime.tv_usec-starttime.tv_usec) 
+1000000*(endtime.tv_sec - starttime.tv_sec));
        gettimeofday(&starttime,0);
      }
    }
  fclose(fd);
  return 0;
}

Result:
