Greetings,
We have several very-high throughput boxen (>300 GB/day each)
sitting on an Arrowpoint CS100 switch. Our problem is that at these
sustained throughput levels, our NICs just crumble :-(
We've tried
3 Com 905B (garbage)
3 Com 509 (so-so)
A variety of Realtek based TX cards (slow...)
and a DEC 21140 based card (great when it works, but seems to
crap out at the high end of the traffic curve)
FreeBSD handles some of the highest loaded sites in the world,
so I *know* it can handle it with the right NIC. My question
should be obvious: what NICs do the readers recommend?
Thanks!
