I have included the throughput figures for bridging for both 2.4 and
2.6 kernels in the table below.
Packet Size(bytes) 2.4.31(Mbps) 2.6.16(Mbps)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
64 2.11 2.19
128 3.59 3.75
256 6.33 6.48
512 10.93 11.16
1024 17.49 17.33
1280 20.00 19.83
1518 22.09 19.91
About the tests, the MIPS malta board has two D-Link PCI ethernet
cards. A bridge br0 is configured over the two ethernet interfaces (
eth0 and eth1). There is an external traffic generator that is
configured to generate packets of above mentioned sizes and to measure
the throughput correspondingly.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
It would be good to include mention of the CPU utilization of the system
under test, even if it is just to say "the CPU was 100% utilized.
