My CPU is unable to handle anything more than this. Is
it possible to handle 1000Mbps for any packet size or
atleast something better than this by using more
powerful machines. If anyone of you have experimented
with this, can you give an idea of what kind of a
machine do I need for this.
Try a machine with a 64/66 PCI bus, or preferably,
a PCI-X bus that can run 64/100 or better.
I got line speed packet generation and reception on
a dual 2.8Ghz Xeon machine with PCI-X (64/100) bus and a dual
port Intel pro/1000 NIC. I tested with 1500 byte packets
and transmitted and received 999Mbps of traffic between
two ports (total of ~4Gbps across the PCI backplane).
I wasn't routing or anything like that, but at least for
packet generation it worked fine.
