We recently tested a Dell R530 with a Chelsio T580 card, under FreeBSD 10.3, 11.0, -STABLE and -CURRENT, and Centos 7.
Based on our research, including netmap-fwd and with the routing improvements project (https://wiki.freebsd.org/ProjectsRoutingProposal), we hoped for packets-per-second (pps) in the 5+ million range, or even higher. Based on prior testing (http://marc.info/?t=140604252400002&r=1&w=2), we expected 3-4 Million to be easily obtainable. Unfortunately, our current results top out at no more than 1.5 M (64 bytes length packets) with FreeBSD, and surprisingly around 3.2 M (128 bytes length packets) with Centos 7, and we are at a loss as to why. Server Description: Dell PowerEdge R530 with 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) E52695 CPU's, 18 cores per cpu. Equipped with a Chelsio T-580-CR dual port in an 8x slot. ** Can this be a lack in support issue related to the R530's hardware? ** Any help appreciated! _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
