Hello all,
Or maybe FreeBSD just sucks wind? I promise
you
that no machine known to man can pass 150Mb/s
and
be 99% idle. Get a god-damned clue for pete's
sake. All polling does is screw up accounting
so
the timings are wrong. At best there's a
marginal
difference in performance. You still have to
process the packets.
Lets see, this Test would mean that his box
could handle 100 x 150Mb/s, or 15Gb/s. Thats
quite a little router you have there! lol.
I have to recognize that I didn't follow the
thread very carefuly and
I propbably missed some posts. I just wanted to
say that when using
freebsd as a pure router using intel cards,
polling realy helps. I've
noticed 10-20% CPU utilization decrease with
polling enabled. Second, I
didn't mean 150Megabytes/sec, rather
Megabits/sec. Third the actual
CPU load is ranging from 0-4% (according to
top), but with an average
of 1%. And finally I just did a test and
enabled polling on that box.
The CPU idle state immediately dropped to 88%
while interrupts
increased to 10-12%.
P.S
Danial, have a look at this

With all due respect, you haven't a clue.
Do you know math? 99% idle implies 1%
utilization. So 150 Mega Bits per second X 100 is
15gigaBITS per seconds is the capacity of your
system, using match. Which is stupid. Anyone who
thinks that is accurate is just plain stupid.
THE MEASUREMENTS DON'T WORK WITH POLLING ENABLED.
Are you able to understand that?
