Re: Performance optimization on VMWare VM's
Hi, How important is it to assign a specific NIC to the single haproxy vm with physical passthrough?

Hey, If you really need to do that for performance purpose, then you should dedicate a server to your LB... cheers On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 12:58 PM, Sebastian Fohler i...@far-galaxy.de wrote: Hi, How important is it to assign a specific NIC to the single haproxy vm with physical passthrough?

Does that mean Sandy/Ivy Bridge based Intel Platforms can't be undoubtedly recommended for high performance usage with haproxy or is there a workaround? What platform would you recommend for a new setup?
