Sounds like there's either a duplex mismatch somewhere, or your ethernet cards/drivers are broken. Can you try verifying your link settings and/or try with different cards? I have no problems doing 300Mbit with full-size packets here (and I can't really check beyond that as I don't have enough client hardware). > It seems like som buffer problem or that that somewhere a icmp squenche > gets sent, ICMP source squench is so 1980's.. :) Seriously, it's deprecated, and you shouldn't see these packets anymore. > when running vmstat 1 on the bridge/fw the context switches are ~30 000, > when the slowdowns are it drops to 100-300 (depending how much other > traffic thats going on right now) Forwarding packets doesn't cause context switches. Stop that tcpdump you are running in the background and retry your vmstat test. cheers, Lennert _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
