NIC performance 2007-12-04 - By Vitaly Karasik
Back
I'm running RHEL3 (2.4.21-47.ELsmp) with Broadcom NIC and BASP bonding
(bcm5700 v8.1.55)
When network traffic is ~12MB/sec (== ~120K packets/sec) CPU system load
is growing up to 50-60%%.
Yes, I know, that small packets (~100 bytes/packet) are not optimal for
network throughput, but in the short-middle term I cannot re-write our
application.
Are there any network driver / kernel parameters which can help me to
increase network throughput?
Replacing bcm5700 to tg3? Upgrading to RHEL 4 or 5 with kernel 2.6?
Other ideas?
Thanks,
Vitaly
