Hi all,
I have been comparing routing and bridging performance tests for
2.6.16,2.6.17,2.6.18,2.6.19 kernels.
The setup is:


      ------------------------
eth0     ------------------------
      |                              |
<---------------------------------->|                                |
      |  Smartbits            |
           |    Malta 4Kc            |
      |                              |
<---------------------------------->|                                |
      ------------------------
eth1     -------------------------


I use D-Link cards for the Malta 4Kc board.
I see that 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 have almost identical performance
figures. Also, same is observed with 2.6.16 and 2.6.17.

But 2.6.16/2.6.17   is roughly 20% better than 2.6.18/2.6.19

Are these results justified? Has anyone observed similar behaviour?
What could be the reason?


Regards
Kalyan
