I'd also be interested to know if hardware checksumming
support would improve throughput noticably in such a system,
or if it is only useful for 1Gbit and above.
Did anyone actually manage to get close to 100Mbit/sec
with similar CPU resources?
I have a pico station, http://ubnt.com/products/picostation.php with
Atheros MIPS 4KC @ 180MHz. Iperf on this device gives 46.0 Mbits/sec
sending TCP from a PC to the device and 36.2 Mbits/sec sending TCP from
the device to a PC. The NIC is part of the Atheros chipset so PCI is
not involved.
