Hello - first post here , hopefully it is the right forum.
I recently setup a bgp box on top of OPENBSD 5.5 Generic.MP, with 6 INTEL EM
nics.The problem is that when I get 700Mbits in one interface, the CPU is
peaking at 88% (interrupt).
I read about interrupt moderation and I dont know how to play with that in my
box. is it the case to update the NIC driver?
here is the reference that the NIC supports int
moderation:http://download.intel.com/design/network/applnots/ap450.pdf
Not sure how to turn that on or off in OpenBSD. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is the spec for the box (NETMAP
L-800)http://www.serveru.us/en/images/ServerU/Folder-Brochure_en.pdf
