I am attempting to debug some networking software, and I am beginning
to suspect problems with the NICs that I am using. I have two machines
that are bouncing a proprietary protocol between them, sustaining packet
rates around 3500 per second. At first, I thought that the problem
might be the Intel EEPRO 100s, but when I've since tried different
drivers and controllers and still get various lockups:
Hardware: 4 x 400MHz Pentium II Xeon
Base OS: kernel 2.2.12, from RH 6.1
Ethernet Drivers:
3com 3c95x from RH 6.1
eepro100 drivers from RH 6.1, 6.2, or e100 driver from Intel
Linksys DNE100TX with tulip driver from Linksys diskette
Does anyone have a similar setup where the networking holds up under
sustained high packet rates? If so, what NIC/driver combinations
have had the greatest success?
Thanks,
