Dear Paul,
SMP DISABLED on my Opteron 2212 (ULE, Preemption on)
Yields ~750kpps in em0 and out em1 (one direction)
I am miffed why this yields more pps than
a) with all 4 cpus running and b) 4 cpus with lagg load balanced over 3
incoming connections so 3 taskq threads
because less locking, less synchronisation, ....
I would be willing to set up test equipment (several servers plugged into a
switch) with ipkvm and power port access
if someone or a group of people want to figure out ways to improve the
routing process, ipfw, and lagg.
Maximum PPS with one ipfw rule on UP:
tops out about 570Kpps.. almost 200kpps lower ? (frown)
can you post the rule here?
I'm going to drop in a 3ghz opteron instead of the 2ghz 2212 that's in here
and see how that scales, using UP same kernel etc I have now.
really, please try 32bit and 1 cpu.
Kind regards,
Ingo Flaschberger
