While I was had a nice little test set up, I figured I'd test Freebsd 4.9 against 5.2.1 since I had fresh installs handy on separate drives. The simple test was as follows:
Hardware: Celeron 2.4Ghz processor Dual onboard Intel (em) NICs, 32bit, 33Mhz bus Setup: Traffic Generator -> FreeBSD System -> Server I had it set up to route between the 2 interfaces (ie NOT bridged). I fired a unidirectional stream of UDP packets (so there was no return traffic from the server, which was discarding the packets) at a rate of ~100Kpps. The disturbing results: FreeBSD 4.9: 33% interrupt usage FreeBSD 5.2.1: >80% interrupt usage What has happened to the stack? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
