See <http://www.29west.com/docs/THPM/latency-interrupt-coalescing.html> >From <http://proj.sunet.se/lanng/lanng2000/lang.html>: Shared memory architectures [in switches] are normally better than having a fixed buffer per port as not all ports will be used simultaneously at the edge. A 25 MB shared memory buffer for gigabit speeds corresponds to roughly 200 ms, which is reasonable. ^^^^^^ -- John Hasler [email protected] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
