Results from LAN tests
Thruput CPU limited (tried with 2 GE interfaces)
- 2*533MHz PIII TCP thruput < 770Mbps
For good performance need to tune:
- Multi-streams important
- Need window size optimization
With UDP PIII/2 * 553MHz cpu can drive:
- 1200Mbps with 2 GE & 100% cpu util & MTU 1500Bytes
- 1500Mbps with 2 GE & 50% cpu util & 9000Byte jumbo frames
- BUT heavy loss on receiver side after 400Mbps
Sun/Solaris disappointing vs. Pentium III/Linux
