I have worked on the Intel 82599 chipset and am not getting very good results. I have looked for a good place for configuration assistance since the driver has compile-time, load-time, and ethtool configuration options that can dramatically change the performance of the haproxy process. One of the threads I found was Willy assisting someone and in that post he comments "Your settings look good. LRO is one of the most important ones and it is enabled. You need to know that 82599 is the hardest NIC to tune ever.". (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.haproxy/9527) My management does not want me fighting to get a configuration on a system as we have multiple web properties and they all have different object profiles so optimizing for one is not available to us.
Can you or anyone else give me some help with the ixgbe driver and system configurations for that card?
