Hi All, We have a Dell R520 with a single processor (and one empty slot) and all the associated RAM slots filled. numademo shows we can do 14,000MB/s which is apparently a little short of the 16,000MB/s required for line rate 10Gbit PF_RING NTop analysis.
Is there anything else we can do with the hardware to up potential performance? We have previously installed NTop with PF_RING on a VM on a dedicated R710 (dual Proc, 24GB RAM) and could only do 4Gbit/s tops. In the case of the R520, we don’t have to worry about NUMA allocation as there is only one CPU, all the correct RAM slots are filled and the PCIe slot the NIC is using is directly connected to the CPU filled. Would it be worth installing NTop on bare metal? Regards, Tim _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
