HP DL380G3 w/ Broadcom and Intel NICs. I also ran an iperf test, but ran out of physical boxes to generate and receive the load at around 900Mbit That's around the same figure I managed to generate with iperf here while testing 12 months ago. (I did determine the maximum xmit/receive

guys, 2.2MBs, 2.2 megabytes per second (120) 7MBs, 7 megabytes pers second (athlon) Are the Athlon figures on a Via chipset motherboard ? Some of the early Via athlon chipsets had pretty lousy PCI performance. You could try tweaking the PCI latency timers in the bios to give the em card

Chipset ? I'm not sure tbh, its an abit board I purchased 4-5 years ago. The source is on a HP Netserver LH3000 (2 x P3 866Mhz, 2.25Gb RAM) with dual 64 bit PCI bus. 3 x Intel Pro MT1000 gig nics (64bit). The disk subsystem is 2 x megaraid scsi/sata controllers, with scsi3 and sata raid 5

[pfSense-discussion] Incoming load balancing with passive ftp

2006-03-15 Thread Daniel Leaberry
I would like to incoming load balance ftp traffic. When I go to Services - Load balancer and try to create a pool or a virtual server the port box only allows one port number. I use passive ftp and have my ftp servers set to use a port range of 4-40500 for passive ftp. So I really would need

That version of Vmware is prehistoric, and probably only emulates a 10 Mbit AMD PCNet nic. Try testing from the host OS on your source machine. The best method for testing bulk is iperf, or this Avalance thing is more real-world. -Original Message- From: Chun Wong [mailto:[EMAIL

Ooops sorry - I thought you meant vmware workstation, not vmware ESX server. However I still suggest testing from the host OS, just makes things tidier. -Original Message- From: Chun Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 16 March 2006 11:45 a.m. To: discussion@pfsense.com
