Greetings,
It appears that I am having some major slowness issues on a HP
Proliant DL380G4 after a fresh install of OpenBSD 4.2 i386 single
processor kernel
When running a iperf (http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/) test to a
Linux host on the same physical subnet on the same physical switch we
are seeing around 4Mb/sec on a Gigabit broadcom card. After changing
the net.inet.tcp.sendspace and net.inet.tcp.sendspace to 262144 and
running iperf again we see the speeds jump up to around 72Mb/sec which
still seems slow since linux hosts on the same subnet are getting
around 757Mb/sec on similar cards and hardware. I checked and my
net.inet.ip.ifq.maxlen is set to 256
Should I be running a different test then iperf?
Any thoughts on why I am seeing such low numbers for a Gigabit card?
Any suggestions for system changes I should make?
Any help is very much appreciated.
The outputs of the iperf tests and dmesg are below.
