[osol-discuss] Oracle sues Google over Java!

Oracle sues Google over Java! Un-believable! Now it is proven what Oracle's intentions are! Is Java free??? What is the future of Java now??? So much for pro-open source attitude! It doesn't exist -maybe it never did after Oracle acquired Sun. Will anyone trust Oracle any more? Too bad. Too b

Thanks for the tips. I'll check out Wireshark. A second question: how do you assess performance within the box itself? I'm using iostat -x, but there's also bonnie (which I've never used). If I want to figure out if the network is the limiting factor, I should also figure out the limiting hard-

I think the benefit of link aggregation in OSOL is when multiple clients connect to the single server. Because link agg in OSOL is based on L2, L3, or L4, even at L4 you would have to use different ports/protocols to see any improvement on a single client. Plus, I'm not sure a single workstation

Thanks, guys. I actually have two ethernet ports on the server, so in principle I should be able to use automatic link-aggregation in OSOL to do this, right? If I understand correctly, the two adapters get teamed, and only require a single IP address, right? Of course, then to see any improvem

I use lacp with two NICs on my server, and during seq writes, can nearly fill the pipes, 200mbps. This is with two clients. I have not seen packet loss, but I'm not looking either :). You can specify the load balancing policy with opensolaris, and I use L4. This way, two clients using the same
