Good point. 5Gbps could indicate that the PCI-e slot is only
negotiating 4x as opposed to 8x.

Hi All,
I have just got a couple of 10GbE intel X520-DA2 cards to test. Im

Four very quick points:
- Enabling flowtable can help provided you don't have a large (greater
than a few thousand) number of peers.
- I have a patch under review to cache the rtentry (L3) and llentry
(L2) in the inpcb for TCP connections, which improves scaling at high
packet rates.

not wired with as many lanes as you might think, so verify that. Oh, and
remember, b
Hi All,
I have just got a couple of 10GbE intel X520-DA2 cards to test. Im
running freebsd 8.1 on a super micro intel xeon server, and a hp core 2 duo
workstation, both machines have 4gb of ram.
Both are attached via sfp+ cables to a brocade turbo iron switch, which
simply has jumbo frames
