To properly handle full duplex gigabit speeds at 300 bytes average packet size we need approx 800k packets per second. So I guess the question should be rephrased into "how many packets per second can you get commodity architecture to do?" because that's of more interest than how many megabit/s we can handle (as it's usually the limiting factor). -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
