Hi Andrew and all I installed freebsd 6.0, complied the kernal and put the polling setting to sysctl.conf after rebooting, it shows kern.polling.enable is deprecated use ifconfig (8) Do you have any ideas? 2/ how can I page up the see previous boot message in the console?

It has much more polling related sysctl tunable. We've got too FreeBSD 5 firewalls at our site (which are doing just fine), and I'm gonna upgrade them to 6.0 one of these days. Look at netstat -s to see how many packets are broken. Maybe your switch/cabling can't cope with the load. Where are the figures from the top output. I only see percent signs. Try running iperf. It's really easy. Just install the port on two boxes, run iperf -s on one and iperf -c other IP on the other. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi all I use feebsd 4.11 as router with intel Giga card about 1 year Recently, the bandwidth couldn't grow and stop to about 383M. ls it the maximum thoughtput of the freebsd? have you had any experience on it? The router is running POLLING instead of interrupt and I had experience in freebsd 5.3. the max was about below 200M in the mrtg graph Thank you for your help __ Yahoo!

Yes, FreeBSD has quite a few limits hardcoded which gives other OSes a chance to look decent in various tests and benchmarks. Anyway, please provide additional details. CPU load one of the most important factors here. According to some people, polling makes it show incorrect (lower) values. Can you run iperf with different switches? Can you try and tweak polling-related sysctl variables? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
