Hi Paul,

I tested Linux in bridge configuration with the same machine and it

600kpps incoming or 600kpps incoming+ outgoing ?
That's a bit low :/ Soft interrupt using all the cpu. Same opteron
2222, 82571EB Pci express NIC.
Tried SMP/ non-smp , load balanced irqs, etc..
Does hwpmc work out of the box (FreeBSD) with those CPUs?
Good news is using iptables only adds a few percentage onto the CPU
usage. But still, what's with that..
So far FreeBSD got the highest pps rating for forwarding. I haven't
tried bridge mode. Ipfw probably takes a big hit in that too though.
Looking for an 82575 to test..
P.S. It was a nice chat, but what we can expect from the future? Any
plans, patches etc?
Someone suggested to install 8-current and test with it as this is the
"fast" way to have something included in FreeBSD.
I can do this - I can install 8-current, patch it and put it under load
and report results, but need patches :)
I guess Paul is in the same situation ..
