I would recommend you do the same! > I'm curious why you say that. I have a large number of both broadcom (bcm5701-based netxtreme) and intel (82544 and 82546 based). The broadcom cards seem to perform well, we are able to achieve ~950Mbps of UDP traffic with iperf, and nearly the same (~890) with TCP. The interrupt rate stays lows (it has an interrupt amalgamator). --don (don@sandvine.com www.sandvine.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
