Hi All,
Hi,
I am doing a routing test using linux 2.4 and linux 2.6 kernel on our board. I am using 2.4.31 and 2.6.16.17 for comparison. I have ported the bsp and drivers from 2.4 to 2.6 and am using a smartbits tester which pumps traffic at high rates and at varying packet sizes. On 2.4, the test goes fine ie I get meaningful values. But on 2.6 kernel, routing begins and continues for sometime before it completely stops. The smartbits configuration is identical in both the cases. I have noticed same problem with dlink and 3com cards which is causing me to suspect that there is some probem with 2.6 routing. Has anyone seen a similar problem ? Any inputs on this would be appreciated.
Did you enable IRQBALANCE in 2.6? $ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep IRQBALANCE If so, please try to disable it. Best regards, Krzysztof Olędzki
