:OK Matt, that last patch did the trick.
:
:I am now getting 68 and 69Mb/s between my Linux system and the FreeBSD
:system.
Excellent!
:I have also tried the loopback interface, and I am getting 371Mb/s for 1 process,
:dropping to about 320Mb/s for 5.
Excellent!
: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).
Here's what I get over a gigabit ethernet link between two DELL2550's:
./tbench 1 10.1.0.1
Throughput 7.72693 MB/sec (NB=9.65866 MB/sec 77.2693 MBit/sec) 1 procs
./tbench 2 10.1.0.1
Throughput 17.1535 MB/sec (NB=21.4418 MB/sec 171.535 MBit/sec) 2 procs
./tbench 3 10.1.0.1
Throughput 23.185 MB/sec (NB=28.9813 MB/sec 231.85 MBit/sec) 3 procs
./tbench 4 10.1.0.1
Throughput 24.041 MB/sec (NB=30.0512 MB/sec 240.41 MBit/sec) 4 procs
./tbench 6 10.1.0.1
Throughput 33.8823 MB/sec (NB=42.3528 MB/sec 338.823 MBit/sec) 6 procs
./tbench 8 10.1.0.1
Throughput 40.9986 MB/sec (NB=51.2482 MB/sec 409.986 MBit/sec) 8 procs
./tbench 10 10.1.0.1
Throughput 43.8519 MB/sec (NB=54.8149 MB/sec 438.519 MBit/sec) 10 procs
./tbench 15 10.1.0.1
Throughput 46.8878 MB/sec (NB=58.6098 MB/sec 468.878 MBit/sec) 15 procs
./tbench 20 10.1.0.1
Throughput 47.2446 MB/sec (NB=59.0558 MB/sec 472.446 MBit/sec) 20 procs
It seems to max-out at around 75,000 packets per second (input + output).
I doubt these results could be duplicated on anything but a DELL2550.
It dedicates an entire internal 64 bit 66MHz PCI bus just to the
on-board gigabit ethernet.

: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.

There are zero-copy patches floating around but I haven't looked at
them to determine how messy they might be.
