FreeBSD-8.2: Channel Bounding: LACP or Roundrobin? With Cisco Catalyst

2011-04-08 Thread Denny Schierz
hi, I want to bound two e1000 (1Gb/s) channels and use at the moment LCAP, but the max throughput is slower, than without channel bounding. I've got round about 70MB/s instead of > 150MB/s - 200MB/s. I used iperf with standard options: :~$ iperf -f M -c 1.2.3.4 --

Denny, Since LACP uses hashing to determine which channel to send the packet to the traffic between two nodes (ip:mac ip:mac) will always get bound to only one of the two channels. I am using HP procurve's here and they do seem to hash by ip too although I can't see/tweak that as in catalyst. If y
