So, I got the results using the Live system. Machine [1] is an older Thinkpad T61 (running the Live system), Machine [2] the well-known "FreeBSD" machine from the previous benchmark. Both machines run FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 GENERIC. {Values in MBit/s} Configuration IPv6IPv4 --

That's a bit difficult because I own only one FreeBSD machine - to provide a result FreeBSD->FreeBSD I'd have to set up a completely new system. On the other side, I could try it using the Live system. I'll try it and tell you when I have results. Norbert __

I'd guess it has to do with incomplete offload code for ipv6, but I'm sure you'll see bz chiming in with details. :-) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to

IPv4 vs. IPv6 Ethernet Performance

2012-08-28 Thread Norbert Aschendorff
Hi, I'm using here a Gigabit Ethernet network and some UN*X machines, among others some Linux-based (Kernel 3.x) and one running FreeBSD 9.1-RC1. Using iperf (in TCP mode), the IPv6 bandwith between two Linux machines (directly attached to the same switch) is about 925 Mbit/s, IPv4 bandwith is abou
