Hi, I'm running into some throughput problems and ran across a previous post, http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-users/2007-12/msg00099.html with about the same hardware I'm using, and running into the same limitation in throughput as I am, with both Intel Pro/1000 (e1000) and Broadcom BCM5708 (bnx2) chipsets.
Pretty much, after I hit that around 450k pps, ksoftirqd starts kicking in and pegs the thread at 100% cpu. Any more traffic after that is getting dropped. I would like to ask if anyone is running high traffic lvs boxes that process more then 450k pps? If so, what hardware are you using? I'm looking for recommendations on cpu type, bus speed, nic, or any other tips you guys may have. One follow up to the post I mentioned, http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-users/2007-12/msg00102.html mentioned using 10GE cards. Any specific brand/model? Is there any killer card out there that'll take an extremely high ammount of traffic? Thanks for any input. - Eric _______________________________________________ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
