I was thinking about looking into it, but I won't have time to start until
the 18th. if you wanna do it, go for it, and I'll wait my turn for the
next thing I can do in the kernel. :-D

As a side note, I turned off delayed ack on both machines, and had the
sendsize and recvsize set at 32768... I'm talking about wirespeed too, not
measured incredibly accurately, but just measured using one of the
windowmaker dockapps :-D

Wierd, on my Dual PII 300 I'm getting around 8MB/sec to an 800MHz
athlon. The athlon is using a 3com 905b I believe, and the PII is using an
intel fxp type card. Granted this is from my living room to my bedroom so
that may be part of what I see. Also, the Dual PII is running -STABLE as
of a week
While I've been coding for a long time, and am fairly decent at coding in
the kernel, I've never really had a chance to get into sockets
programming. So I thought I'd write a simple set of programs to see how
things work. From what I understand, when you read on a socket, you have

I was wondering if anyone had ever used altq to throttle people on an adsl
connection. Basically what I want to do make each user share bandwidth
evenly, but in such a way that they can use all the available bandwidth
individually if nobody else is using it. However, I also want to be able

Also, the PIII CAN'T natively support more than 4GB of ram. If a
particular PIII motherboard supports this, then it's using some kind of
wierd chipset that allows this to happen. 4GB is the limit with a 32 bit
chip I believe; and the PIII is a 32-bit chip.

Oh ok, I knew that regular PIII's only had 32 bits... but it's still
obviously a pain in the butt to use above 4GB.

BUT, don't the motherboards also have to support this? And isn't it only
supported through some wierd segmentation thing?

Cardbus is only supported in FreeBSD-CURRENT. It may never be ported to

SMP works on athlons... while internally AMD uses the Alpha EV6 bus to
give each CPU a full 200MHz point-to-point bus between it and it's RAM, to
the OS, it just looks like any other intel based SMP machine. (It just
runs faster)

This is not really a "hardcore networking app" but a custom app written by
the person who did the benchmark. The main reason that FreeBSD came in
last was mostly because the guy didn't mount his filesystem correctly.

FreeBSD supports cardbus in -CURRENT, but I wouldn't expect it to ever
support cardbus in 4.x. If you are daring you can get -CURRENT, but from
what I hear right now, it's not working very well.

I've seen cardbus cards do almost a full 100 mbit, but regular pcmcia

Currently as far as I know, there isn't really a way to do this, although
much work is being done in -CURRENT to fix this.

It's just another part of the card that doesn't need to have a driver for
it to function, take a look at my dmesg:

Why exactly whould you not touch the -march options? I have had no
problems using them, and my system (5.0-CURRENT) seems a little faster
with -march=i686. I could be wrong though as I havn't done any exact
tests... it just seems a bit more responsive..
==
I don't think that's quite true. I've seen microkernels crash because of
bad drivers. I think no matter what, even in a microkernel the drivers
have to interface directly to the kernel. I could be wrong but I thought
that in a microkernel, drivers were loaded as kernel modules.
