That sounds pretty similar to what ip_squeue_fanout does for Solaris10 - and using it made a noticable performance improvement:
ip_squeue_fanout Description Determines the mode of associating TCP/IP connections with squeues A value of 0 associates a new TCP/IP connection with the CPU that creates the connection. A value of 1 associates the connection with multiple squeues that belong to different CPUs. The number of squeues that are used to fanout the connection is based upon ip_soft_rings_cnt. -devon -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Preston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 12:47 PM To: Peters, Devon C; VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Some info on my experiences with 10GbE "Is rss enabled?" Not sure what you're asking here... RSS is receive-side scaling, which apparently helps improve performance: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/network/ndis_rss.mspx I actually just learned about it the other day talking to a 10 GbE NIC vendor. He asked me that question about another user that had posted different results (but still on Solaris), and so I thought I'd ask you. Upon further research, it appears to be a Microsoft-only thing. So, never mind! ;) _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
