Istvan,

I ran newer FreeBSD code 8.0 RC1 this time. By using NetPIPE, we =
collected
test data and the result shows that FreeBSD TCP performance is worse =
than
Linux. I got troubles to plot using gnuplot, so here I am attaching the =
raw
data files.
The netpipe commands are as follows:
PC2: #NPtcp
PC1: #NPtcp =A8Ch 192.168.1.20

use netpipe TCP pls.

And graph it.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I compared TCP performance between FreeBSD and Linux by running test =
tools
Netperf and Iperf with Intel NIC.
The kernels are full version and default values are used in the testing
except TCP Congestion Control algorithm set to Reno.
>From the test results we can see Linux TCP performance in throughput is
better than FreeBSD. The worst case (send msg size 128) shows that =
FreeBSD
throughput is only 43% of Linux's.
I like to get some feedback if anyone did similar comparison test, or =
knows
any issues with kernels or drivers. Thanks lot.
FreeBSD and Linux Sysctl captures are attached for reference.
