Thanks, it's a bit hard to try and translate this into some we can understand. :-(
>I am getting dropped packets on the 82572EI interfaces as well. Thanks not good. This means that the interrupts are not being serviced fast enough to keep up with the traffic. With 5 networking ports it doesn't surprise me. What kind of tests are you running to cause this? It's unclear if this system can withstand the traffic from these ports. Have you tried to run the test on a single port to see if the drops happen then as well? Try to see where the problem starts to happen. Are interrupts being shared between the devices? What OS are you running? Cheers, John ----------------------------------------------------------- "...that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.", B.
