are you using flow control? if not, the only other thing to adjust is to decrease the tx descriptor ring size (ethtool -G ... tx 256) (you'd be surprised how much speed up you can get with small packets by decreasing) and adjust the interrupt throttle rate with either the ethtool -C ... rx-usecs and/or the InterruptThrottleRate module load parameter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
