Steffen,
Thanks for the test.
The differences between our test settings are NIC and CPU, your NICs are
GLDv3, but my cards are "legacy", and your systems are SPARC, but mine
are Intel. Probably the difference of NICs is the primarily reason for
the different results.
Two more questions,
1. Where can I find the list of NIC that can support GLDv3?
Good question. I thought I had stumbled across the list, but seem to
be too far away this time.
Oh, again by accident--had it up for a different reason:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01nk?a=view, in the
Link Aggregation Requirements, it lists three NICs, so it is not
up-to-date, as the nge is also v3.
2. We say a NIC card is a GLDv3 based NIC, can I turn a NIC to GLDv3 by
only updating its driver?
I'll let the experts confirm, but I'd expect so. The benefit of GLD is
easier delivery of drivers.
