Re: Comparison of FreeBSD/Linux TCP Throughput performance

Hi, Trying to chime in with a few pointers here. Things to check when doing a TCP benchmark on FreeBSD. In particular make sure to adjust theses: net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max: 262144 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_inc: 16384 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_auto: 1 net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max: 262144 net.inet.tcp.send

I guess it is not only for netpipe, it is doing a pretty decent job changing the packet size checking the performance so finally you have an overview about the size, lag, bw I like! :) On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 11:15 AM, Adrian Chadd wrote: > 2009/10/16 István : > > I see. > > It shows that linux
