Currently vllm-router limits the concurrent requests to 100 while using the AiohttpClientWrapper in aiohttp_client.py.
In my test scenario the deployment router will not proxy more than 100 concurrent llm requests to the model.
This is because the aiohttp.ClientSession() will create a aiohttp.TCPConnector which default limit is 100 concurrent requests (see aiohttp docs for TCPConnector).

As the already implemented comment says, it is intended to have unlimited connections there, but the implementation itself is missing:

    def start(self):
        """Instantiate the client. Call from the FastAPI startup hook."""
        # To fully leverage the router's concurrency capabilities,
        # we set the maximum number of connections to be unlimited.
        self.async_client = aiohttp.ClientSession()
        logger.info(f"aiohttp ClientSession instantiated. Id {id(self.async_client)}")

I propose to create a aiohttp.TCPConnector with limit=0 which equals unlimited and pass it to the created aiohttp.ClientSession().

Summary of Changes

Hello @dermodmaster, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a concurrency limitation within the vllm-router's AiohttpClientWrapper. Previously, the aiohttp.ClientSession implicitly used a TCPConnector with a default limit of 100 concurrent requests, hindering the router's ability to handle more concurrent operations. The change explicitly configures the ClientSession to use an aiohttp.TCPConnector with limit=0, effectively enabling unlimited connections and allowing the router to operate at its full potential.

Highlights

  • Unlimited Connections: The aiohttp.ClientSession in vllm-router is now configured to use an unlimited number of concurrent connections by setting aiohttp.TCPConnector(limit=0).
  • Concurrency Improvement: This change removes the default limit of 100 concurrent requests, allowing the router to fully leverage its intended concurrency capabilities.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses an issue where the aiohttp.ClientSession was limited to 100 concurrent connections by default, contrary to the intended behavior of having unlimited connections. The approach of using aiohttp.TCPConnector with limit=0 is correct for this purpose. However, my review identified a potential resource leak. When an external connector is passed to ClientSession, it doesn't take ownership by default, meaning it won't be closed automatically. I've provided a specific comment with a code suggestion to fix this by setting connector_owner=True. With this change, the implementation will be robust.
