I am working with a cluster of 10 Athlon 1900+'s, and I am considering upgrading from 100 MBit to Gigabit ethernet.
Our primary application involves passing a small number of relatively large (roughly 500 kbyte) messages. With our present configuration, the CPUs spend about half their time idle while waiting on the network. I would appreciate any advice that people might have about gigabit ethernet. What sort of performance boost can I realistically expect? What particular NIC's and/or switches seem to work well?
