Kernel latency for handling the Network traffic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

I am building the router based on linux kernel.

 

The hardware details are below,

2 – 64 bit quad core processor (3Ghz core).

RAM-  24GB RAM.

PCI express slot- connected with Quad Port 100Mbps Ethernet adapter -2. (so total 8 ethernet interfaces)

 

 

I just want to calculate the maximum traffic the  router can handle..?.

 

The maximum traffic could be, also 8  ports(100Mbps) * 2 directions = 1600Mbps.

 

Can this system(kernel + hardware) handle this much traffic. (Assume the best case)?

 

 

I think,  There is calculation to identify the packet processing time in linux kernel (kernel & hw cpu freq). I am not aware of this.

 

Can some one help me to identify this.

 

Thanks

Suresh.
