Solved (Re: -current vs. -stable network performance)

2001-12-14 Thread Luigi Rizzo
In case you are interested, I found why CURRENT performed so badly. It turns out that CURRENT still does not have the fix to M_LEADINGSPACE that permits writing into non-shared mbufs. This caused the header of forwarded packets to be pulled up in a separate buffer, and triggered a known (to me a

Hi, I am testing the forwarding performance of CURRENT vs. STABLE (both more or less up to date, unmodified, with the latest performance patches to the "dc" driver, which I am using) and I am having some surprises. STABLE can forward approx 125Kpps, whereas CURRENT tops at approx 80Kpps. This i
