while checking out the quality of a switch, I came about a very disturbing
dicovery: FreeBSD <-> Linux througput is MUCH better than FreeBSD <-> FreeBSD
Setup:
2 blades in the same bladeserver, A running FreeBSD 5.4, B running Linux
C is running FreeBSD 5.4
all are connected at 1gb.
A -+ (FreeBSD)
|
B -+ (Linux)
|
[switch]
|
+---- [router] --- C (FreeBSD)
A & B are on the same Vlan.
iperf results:
Interval Transfer Bandwidth
A <=> B 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 939 Mbits/sec
A <=> C 0.0-10.0 sec 515 MBytes 432 Mbits/sec
B <=> C 0.0-10.0 sec 1.07 GBytes 918 Mbits/sec
I've run the tests several times, and the numbers are very similar,
so BIG Question: is there anything that can be tunned on the FreeBSD to
better the throughput?
