hi
i'm just wondering, if my experienced performance in my network is usual.
setup:
debian linux
kernel 2.6.8.1 (patched with pom espacially l7-filter and ipp2p)
linux-brigde
everthing is working so far (that's the good part).
but i measure different downloadrates:
on my machine (behind the bridge) ~70Kbyte/s
on the bridge ~200Kbyte/s
the linux-bridge has to forward ~500 clients and has to shape
transparently the traffic.
is this difference in downloadrates normal?
my assumption so far:
i have 4 interfaces on the linux bridge.
eth1 and eth2 doing the bridge, so they are heavly used.
eth0 is rarely used, so this may be an explanation.
even if i stop iptables, there is no increase.
i would just appriciate, if someone can confirm this as ususal behavior.
greets
moritz
