Hi All,

I have some doubts , please clear me.


Query 1 ) should we set irq afinity of pci lan interface or onboard lan interface or we can do for both ?

Query 2) H/w must be APIC enabled and for them only we can do set irq afinity , is it so?

Query 3) What are the root cause for packet loss on interface ?

Actually in one of my server , i m having strange result, i can not see any value update for lan interface in interrupts.

em1 is my lan interface.

But i can not see any 16 irq no. in cat /proc/interrupts.

I tried to increase rx and tx for em1 but still same i m having packet loss on interface.

OS : fedora 15 64 bit.

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

Kernel : 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64


Please guide me to solve this issues and resolve my queries.


Warm Regards,
Benjamin
