Ah. Is that likely to be in the driver, where it might be fixed, or the NIC firmware? > rx-frames may generate an interrupt storm if you receive a stream of > small packets.

Yes, but I'm not sure how useful that is since the rx-usecs adjustment doesn't seem sensible in this case. Also I'm not actually interested in tg3 for production use, so maybe someone who is would like to try. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
