I've been Googling up a storm but I am having trouble finding
recommendations for a good gigabit ethernet card to use with 4.11. The
Intel part numbers I found in the em readme are a few years old now, and
I can't quite determine how happy people are with other chipsets despite
my searches.
I'm looking for a basic PCI 1-port card with jumbo frame support if
possible--I can live without it. Either way, stability is much more
important than performance.
em for PCI32x33MHz works good up to 250Mbit/s, not more
em for PCI64x66MHz works up to about 500Mbit/s without polling
with 2 em interfaces on pci-express, bridging between the two
interfaces I can
bridge 930Mbits/sec. That is with filterring using ipfw on the bridge,
testing
against a single table of 128000 entries.
(dell 2850 plus an Intel quad gig card)
I get the same thoughput even with the machine bypassed.
I haven't tried two streams going in opposite directions to see if I can
double that,
but cpu usage is around 15%
and drops packets at about 250Mbit/s.
bge integrated in Tyan's dual opteron mobo works good
up to 500Mbit/s and may be more (CPU not 100% busy)
