Throughput rate testing configurations

2008-06-10 Thread Steve Bertrand
Hi everyone, I see what I believe to be less-than-adequate communication performance between many devices in parts of our network. Can someone recommend software (and config recommendations if possible) that I can implement to test both throughput and pps reliably, initially/primarily in a s

Vlan EVENT patch

This is a small patch that Sam came up with for me, it will allow drivers to know when a vlan attaches. It is transparent to any code that doesn't want to change, but this will allow my drivers to finally utilize the vlan hardware filter (something Linux has had for ever but we lacked). My test g

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying to get real time cwnd data via SCTP logging function (SCTP_LOCAL_TRACE_BUF). I could compile the utilities dump_apple_log and prtcwdlog successfully. But I failed to enable logging trace. Below are the steps I have proceeded: 1. Installed FreeBSD 7.0 2.

Hi All. I'm working on a 10GigE driver for FreeBSD 7. Looking at other GigE and 10GigE drivers I've seen that mbuf->m_pkthdr.tso_segsz is assigned to MSS (Max Segment Size) on the Tx routines. If I understand correctly the tso_segsz is supposed to inform the driver with the MTU set by the OS, the
