Hi,

I've been playing around with different updates of Solaris 10 and I
noticed that basic ping times vary greatly between them.  Each of the
time below are performed over a Broadcom 57710 using the bnxe driver
which I compiled for each version of Solaris.  Read as... the same
source code is used for each.

Server 1: HP xw8600 running Linux
Server 2: Dell R710 running Solaris

- connected back to back via 57710 cx4 -

Solaris 10 u7

  HP ping Dell: ~.045 ms
  Dell ping HP: ~.060 ms

Solaris 10 u8

  HP ping Dell: ~.090 ms
  Dell ping HP: ~.090 ms

OpenSolaris build 134

  HP ping Dell: ~.100 ms
  Dell ping HP: ~.160 ms

Can these ping times between Solaris updates be explained?

I've yet to dive into this but I was hoping someone might know of
administrative/configuration related differences to account for this.

Thanks,
