Ok, i have tested on new hardware with pktgen: Machine: Dual Xeon processor with EMT64 - kernel is 32 bit. Chipset: E7520 Memory Controller Hub (MCH). The block diagrams claim direct connection between the MCH and PCI Express ... Ethernet: 6 ethernet ports - e1000 82571EB. The results are just too good i am getting worried ;-> Pktgen with plain vanilla 2.6.22-rc4 - small packets (64 B on the wire) i.e zero changes. Avg throughput is 747Kpps 2.6.22-rc4 with batching changes as in the git tree avg throughput is 1087Kpps That is about 45% improvement. Note, in theory - didnt try this - you could run one ethernet port per CPU and get equivalent improvement per CPU. I would really really like other people to test ;-> cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
