Hi,
I had a pair of Dell PowerEdge R200s that have both em(4) and bge(4)s
in them, however, it's the em(4) doing the heavy lifting. Roughly 30-40
megabits/s sustained and doing anywhere between 3000-4000 packets/s.
On OpenBSD 4.4, it happily forwards packets along. I upgraded one of
the firewalls to 4.8 and switched CARP over to it (yes, I know the
redundancy is broken anyway now.) and it couldn't seem to handle the
traffic. Any inbound connections would stall and I have no idea why.
There were no net.inet.ip.ifq.drops, but I noticed 10 livelocks when
running systat mbufs (on em0). Could MCLGETI be hindering performance?
Is there anything I can try?
Tom
