You may find you have not loaned the em driver enough buffers, (max_rxd, max_txd). you may find you want to use device polling, poll on idle, and play with the polling parameters. In this config i have achieved ~2Gbps of throughput with these large packets, so i know it can be done. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
