even quite old Intel boxes manage to saturate 1 GE easily. You're copying stuff into the send buffer and ring a bell. Nowadays it doesn't seem hard to do 10 GE with a Linux box, especially if you've got HW assist on the network card. The z network adapter is a full fledged POWER board, it can't be that hard... ;-) Kind regards Philipp Kern ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
