(please CC: me on responses as I do not subscribe to this list)
I'm using e1000 NICs using the 4.3.15 driver (I'm using the 82546 chipset
Pro/1000 MT/MF adapters) on a 2.4.18 kernel
I'm seeing a lot of receive errors when working under heavy load (specSFS to
be exact) with either Jumbo frames or normal frames.
We've been trying to tweak the IntDelay parameters and Descriptors to
resolve this, to no avail.
When working under 4.1.7 driver with older NICs there are no errors, but
performance is much lower as well.
Can someone point me to recommended configurations for various workloads, or
other means of handling this problem ?
Thanks,
