OK Matt, that last patch did the trick. I am now getting 68 and 69Mb/s between my Linux system and the FreeBSD system.
I have also tried the loopback interface, and I am getting 371Mb/s for 1 process, dropping to about 320Mb/s for 5. This seems like it is close to the limit for the machine I am using, as CPU hits 100% when I ran the above tbench runs. I will have to try it with Gigabit Ethernet, but won't be able to do so until next week or the week after (after I get to the US). Does the FreeBSD tcp stack do zero copy (page flip the data to userspace)? In the localhost case, it seems like there are two copies to/from userspace there. -- Richard Sharpe, [EMAIL PROTECTED], LPIC-1 www.samba.org, www.ethereal.com, SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours, Special Edition, Using Samba To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
