When I go via tx0, I get ~3MB/sec >(CPU limited). If I use ftp via ed0, I get wire speed (just over >1MB/sec). Having just finished instrumenting tcp_output.c to track the problem down, I find that it has vanished. It seems that it was fixed sometime between 3rd August and last night. The only change to tcp_output.c during this time was v1.46 - which only affects error behaviour and backing that change out had no effect (ie the problem is still gone). I don't recall seeing any commits that would have affected this problem. Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
