I make some networking performance tests for Linux 3.10.13 #1 SMP
is that normal
Linux (pktget) ----> Linux (router) ----> Linux (Sink)
eth0: 0.00 P/s 652024.78 P/s 652024.78 P/s
eth1: 652175.58 P/s 2.98 P/s 652178.55 P/s
with echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables CPU is about 2%
with echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables 1 CPU is 100%
si no rules in iptables is that normal ?
ok lets get back to
with echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables CPU is about 2%
ebtables -A FORWARD -d 00:0D:BD:A4:E1:C8 -j mark --set-mark 1
--mark-target ACCEPT
i get 7-20% CPU usage on all 4 CPUs
adding another rule make this 20-40%
what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for Your help
