same thing with me. hw setup, x86 pentium driven box, 512 ram and other standard things (benhur box). but i was not able to have more than 900mbps (but with some VERY basic firewalling activated), 900 was even the peak. kernel is stack protected (pax) with some basic rules for grsec submitted. kernel flags (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/..... almost standard, just routing enabled) would also love to hear some configuration tuning tips, as i thing hw tuning is the easier way ;) test was performed using a trunk port (between two cisco boxes. cisco - bridge - cisco) brgds josef -----Original Message----- From: Ben Greear To: bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 28.09.2005 19:15 Subject: [Bridge] Bridge benchmarks? I am curious if anyone has benchmarks for bridging GigE networks. On my hardware, I am unable to go much beyound about 920Mbps (bi-directional). I was hoping for 970+ Mbps (MTU sized pkts). If anyone has been able to get these sorts of numbers, I'd love to hear the hardware setup and/or tuning parameters.
