Hi all,
On an intel 7505-based board with onboard e1000 and dual 2.4ghz xeon
processors running 2.6.10-rc1, I can send ~600kpps 60byte packets using
pktgen. I'm using only one CPU, the IRQ tied to that CPU, etc. On a
single P4 3.0GHz with a 32/33 e1000 PCI card, I get ~450kpps, also on
2.6.10-rc1.
Robert Olsson's pktgen paper* talks about 870kpps using an e1000 in a
P3 733, and 2.4Mpps on a dual 1.6GHz opteron, but I've been totally
unable to reproduce anything like this at all.
Any ideas for stuff I should try?
thanks,
Lennert
