Hi there-- I just got a new machine with the Broadcom 5709 iSCSI offload enabled. I thought I'd try it out.
Because the machine was a dell, I used the provided dkms packages for bnx2i version 1.2.14--this is on kernel 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen. I wasn't expecting any miracles, but write speed looks to be about half full software initiator speed, and read speeds are below 1MB/sec. With the software initiator I was seeing near wire speeds, 111MB/sec write, 90MB/sec reads... Anyone else have similar experiences with the Broadcom offload engine?
