If you wanted to do even better than that, set up a simple webpage
describing what you are doing in your comparison, have a link to the
dmesg/boot output for each platform as a .txt file and a description of
any system tweaks & tuning, have a link that points to a description of
the test setup (ie, your ASCII diagram of the switch and 4 machines),
then your graphs, then the raw data (or links to it, depending). You
can then throw in netstat -s output, or NIC driver stats from sysctl, or
switch stats, etc-- anything else that adds useful context.
There are a fair number of posts in the list archives which describe how
to benchmark reliably, and the people who are most likely to be making
code changes to FreeBSD also tend to like to know whether you've
collected enough data, in a controlled fashion, to have an idea as to
whether your measurements are reproducible. I'm not a purist, and I
Also, the OP should take a look at some previous benchmarks and the link
