Hi, I am working to evaluate performance of throughput between two PC connected between a Fore-ATM card adapter to a network: the netwotk is composed of a PVC of 4Mbps between three routers and I am just looking to use differente queuing discipline like FIFO-PQ-WFQ. I have configured the two PC with the same Operating Systems: a Linux (Red-Hat) and a FreeBSD v4.3 (Kame Patch) and I am using NETPERF to make throughput test. Making the first tests I note a difference beetwen using the two FreeBSD or the two LINUX: [1] for example when using FreeBSD-FIFO and make a default TCP_STREAM Netperf with the deafult values of SendSocketSize and ReceiverSocketSize (16.000) the value of througput is lower (<2Mbps) than the 3.5Mpbs that I have configured in the PVC; however making the same test with the values of SendSocketSize and ReceiverSocketSize of 128000 the test is good and I have the value of 3.45Mbps using Linux-FIFO and make a default TCP_STREAM with the deafult values of SendSocketSize and ReceiverSocketSize (16.000) the value of througput is of 3.5Mpbs. [2] using other queuing discipline I have always to change in FreeBSD the values of SendSocketSize and ReceiverSocketSize to have values that seems the real condition of the network; using Linux the values is always correct without changing the values of the Sockets. - anybody can help me to resolve this problem ? Is the TCP/IP stacks of the two systems very differents ? What is different ? Why the Linux seems have the best performances ? - Where I can find some documents that describe the TCP stacks of the two systems ? really Thanks...!!!!!
