Hi,

after making new kernels I have noticed a dramatical performance drop
in the tcp stack.

The last normally working kernel I have is from 20th november.
The sources are up to date, our archives are updated nightly.

I am using a scripted sysinstall for doing installations/updates
on our embedded equipment. Testing the installation on a normal PC
I can see the numbers on the speedometer :-)

"host-242" is installed, the release is fetched from "mezcal".
Both are connected to a switch 10/100TX, mezcal has a fxp running
with 100baseTX, host-242 has a NetGear USB/ethernet adapter (10TX).

Here are the numbers:

1. server new, client new:	10-15 Kb/s
mezcal:   FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #23: Thu Dec 13 08:48:40 CET 2001
host-242: FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Wed Dec 12 13:37:50 GMT 2001

2. server old, client new:	140-160 Kb/s
mezcal:   FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #21: Tue Nov 20 14:17:19 CET 2001
host-242: FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Wed Dec 12 13:37:50 GMT 2001

3. server old, client old:	225-245 Kb/s
mezcal:   FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #21: Tue Nov 20 14:17:19 CET 2001
host-242: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Tue Jul 17 10:58:55 GMT 2001

I have tcpdumps for all three cases. Strange are sometimes lots
of duplicate acks.

Who is interrested in the tcpdumps?

Also I have tried to switch off newreno and delayed_ack, but with
no visible effect.

Thomas
