We have a network appliance that is currently based on 4.9. We are in
the process of releasing
a new version based on 6.1 stable.
In our testing using nttcp thru the appliance we see insignifant
difference in thruput between the 2
versions in a controlled environment - aproximately 94mbs on a 100mb lan.
Are there any sysctl tunables that may affect performance going over the
internet
with a slower link, dropped packets, etc that could cause this?
Have you tried
options DEVICE_POLLING
in the kernel? If you want to try yuo can find a section in the file
NOTES located the same place as your kernel.
Is the kernel cusomized? Have you enabled -O2 as optimization? Do you
consider release 6.2 rather than 6.1?
