HAProxy and Traefik benchmarking

Last year I did some benchmarking test and checked the performance of two open source load balancer HAProxy and Traefik. I am publishing these tests as this might help you to choose your load balancer.
I used the following benchmarking tools:
· ab (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/ab.html )
· wrk (https://github.com/wg/wrk )
· siege (https://www.joedog.org/siege-home/ )
Test environment I used:
· HAProxy 1.7
· Traefik 1.3.5
· Ubuntu 16.04
Note: These results are for tests run with default configurations for both the load balancer, without applying any optimization settings.
Results:
• In most cases we found that HAProxy performed better than Traefik.
• HAProxy yet to support HTTP/2, Traefik has full support of HTTP/2
