The speed of a single core is just too slow. Balancing the interrupts over multiple CPU cores gives a performance penalty. What about MSI-X with multiqueue (like intel chipset 82575). Will that help. I haven't found a nic with that chipset yet, but that's a different story. -Patrick _______________________________________________ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
