I'm looking for tips on network / kernel optimization. I know that when 100Mb/s ethernet first came to FreeBSD, there were P90s moving at 9MB/s, but I've never been able to break 7MB/s, except for my K7-850 with Barricuda hard drives (9.0). I'm using xl's on most machine (K7 as well) with a fxp in my P166 with SCSI drives (sees only ~6 MB/s on a good day). Any ideas? I've got 2560 total mbuf clusters on the P166; I can't really think of much else to change to speed things up... ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
