I am running a couple 4.10 and a couple 5.2.1 servers and they all act the same. I get no loss/choke on either of them...And I have a few 1u's and all you need is a 1u PCI-Riser to add a new NIC. Maybe $10...Depends on where you get them. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailt

It's a 1U rackserver so I can't install another nic. However next time im in the datacenter I will try the em nic, different cable, and different switchport just to make sure. Next on my list to try is to disable HT, and then cvsup to 5.x. I may even cvsup BACK to 4.9 since the other 4.9 machine wo

I don't think he is trying to point to your link being the problem. I think he is trying to point to a possible problem with the interface card itself. I would try a different NIC rather than the onboard just to see if you still get the same loss/choke, just so you can rule out the hardware factor

In response to your comment about 12000 Ciscos being unreliable...IMHO, that is crazy...They are only unreliable if the admin doesn't know how to manage them efficiently. And I agree with you on the Junipers...Those are very nice. Just a matter of what you want in your network. But the Ciscos, I

I actually have two onboard, one is an fxp and the other is an em (the gigabit one). I highly doubt it is my network causing the loss though. I pay good money for bandwidth =) Steven Hartland wrote: - Original Message - From: "Andy Shinn" The network card is an integrated intel card. Not s

For as much as I can say, Catalysts are a rather obnoxious choice. Try the Baystack Series from Nortel. As for high performance routers, dropped the unreliable Cisco's 7100/12000 and started investing in Juniper's, now, those really rock! nmarques Andy Shinn wrote: Right now there are 2 hlds server

The main reason for 5.x was the SMP rework so if ur running a dual or event HT ( would advise u disable this for game servers ) then you may well seen a good increase. Note if you venture into -current do NOT use the new scheduler its bad news for servers. Steve / K - Original Message

Right now there are 2 hlds servers on the machine. During time of testing both were empty. And even with both full. The loss/choke still seem to be about the same (around 1-6). The switch is a Cisco 2900 series. Not sure exact model, it's a special layer 3 model. The network card is an integrated i

I'm running FreeBSD 4.10 with HT on. Didn't notice much debugging stuff enabled in the kernel when I poked around. is 5.x far more superior for hosting HLDS? The thing is. I just checked this on another server (freeBSD 4.9) with much worse specs and I do NOT see any loss/choke on that server. Only
