Thanks for doing the test.

My conditions are different in that i have a gigabit network.
The only difference in the iperf options is that i'm using
-d (dualmode).

On the weekend i will have time to do a test with the NICs
set to 100MBit.

Hi,

I changed the switch to 1Gbps and run the test again.

No problems with the NICs. The iperf is running for 10 hours now. 2TB of data was transmitted in both directions.

I am running an endless loop on a client side

while 1
iperf -c xx.xx.xx.xx --format k -m -p 999 -t 1800 -d
sleep 5
end

And another endless loop on server side

while 1
iperf -s -p 999
end

Client is on the Supermicro X9SCA-F

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=4219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO>
        ether 00:25:90:73:d1:76
        inet xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast xx.xx.xx.xx
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active


Server is running on the Cisco UCS C200 M2

igb0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=401bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO>
        ether 50:57:a8:af:eb:0a
        inet yy.yy.yy.yy netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast yy.yy.yy.yy
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active

Both sides are running FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE amd64 GENERIC

So the only difference is that I am using NIC em0 in shared mode for remote management. Can you try your test with shared mode?
