Do you have a comparison with Linux under the same circumstances?

I had a disk with 64bit already installed. I will try with 32bit tomorrow. I can also try FreeBSD AMD64 on the box to see how it does.

ifstat gives a bit of an odd output, but its the same sort of pattern where adding a second stream in the same direction, slows down the first one. On the box R2

I added the second stream, going in the same direction at **

On one of the targets running netreceive you can see the impact.

When the packets are bi-directional, the impact is not as great in LINUX as it is on FreeBSD

The box is totally responsive throughout with no packet loss on the management interface.... However, it seems quite a bit slower than FreeBSD when its tweaked with ADAPTIVE_GIANT removed... But again, this is 64bit so not quite apples to apples yet. Also, I need to check the default driver config to see if their NAPI or whatever its called is enabled. More tests to come.
