I've ran several simple tests with desktop e1000 adapter I managed to
find.
Test machine is amd athlon64 3500+ with 1gb of ram.
Another point is dektop core duo 3.4 ghz with 2 gb of ram and sky2
driver.
Simple test included test -> desktop and vice versa traffic with 128 and
4096 block size in netperf-2.4.3 setup.
Test machine runs 2.6.22-rc5-batch and mainline tree (there is a test
with 2.6.22-rc4 and there is a noticeble performance win compared to
that tree in the latest git, likely tcp congestion changes resulted in
better utilisation). Batched xmit has better numbers.
Results:
2.6.20-ubuntu -> test machine
2.6.22-rc4-batch:
128: 725.43 724.14
4096: 698.63 712.77
2.6.22-rc5-mainline:
128: 760.91 762.04
4096: 784.32 788.53
2.6.22-rc5-batch:
128: 766.70
4096: 788.24
test machine -> 2.6.20-ubuntu
2.6.22-rc5-mainline:
128: 558.16 (Desired confidence was not achieved within the specified
iterations.)
4096: 814.01
2.6.22-rc5-batch:
128: 569.14 (Desired confidence was not achieved within the specified
iterations.)
4096: 822.72
