Hi, On Friday I managed to get a single PC to suck down something like 117MB/s from a NetApp F840 using cifs-load-gen.
The only PC-like platforms that I can think of that would be able to [ab]use all the bandwidth available in two or more GigE adapters would be things like the AMD 760MPX-based mobos or some Intel mobos with multiple 64-bit 66MHz PCI slots. Can anyone point to any others? I know that Intel provide dual GigE channels on one card, so this would be a way to put four into one PC, but I am not sure you would have much memory bandwidth left over. I want to find a way to test the multi=interface stuff I want to put into cifs-load-gen and find where its limits are from a load-generation point of view.
