Hi.
First of all, thank you. It seems the problem may be in there. The PCI
buses are actually quite slow. As I told before I have a Pentium 3
with a e1000 card which achieves 350kpps at most. I have also a
Pentium 4 with another e1000 card (the specific models were said in
the prev mail). This can't either send packets faster than 350kpps.
But may be the reason is the PCI bus: With the patch applied I found this:
0000:00:0c.0: e1000 (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 00:0e:0c:76:d3:75
Both NICS are attached to 33MHz pci buses. Comparing with the results
in the pktgen paper, this is the slowest possible (the fastest would
be 133MHz). Could be that the reason for such a bad throughput?
Shouldn't the Pentium 4 send faster than the Pentium 3 anyway?
As I told you also, I have another machine, a dual AMD Opteron with a
tg3 which sends at 650kpps at most. Is there a similar patch for tg3
which lets me know the bus types/speed?
Thank you.
Regards
Aritz
