Dear Rudy,
I used polling in FreeBSD 5.x and it helped a bunch. I set up a new
router with 7.0 and MSI was recommended to me. (I noticed no
difference when moving from polling -> MSI, however, on 5.4 polling
seemed to help a lot. What are people using in 7.0?
polling or MSI?
if you have a inet-router with gige-uplinks, it is possible that there
will be (d)dos attacks.
only polling helps you then to keep the router manageable (but
dropping packets).
Let me disagree :)
I'm experimenting with bridge and Intel 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
On quad core system I have no problems with the stability of the bridge
without polling.
taskq em0 takes 100% CPU, but I have another three (cpus/cores) that are
free and the router is very very stable, no lag on other interfaces
and the average load is not very high too.
Kind regards,
Ingo Flaschberger
