Re: 10G NIC recommendation
sounds like I already have the cards I need in myx(4). I'm currently using them for 10g packet capture systems under a Linux install using their proprietary snf driver. Slick driver, but it is proprietary, Myri only supports Linux/FreeBSD and Winders with it. Will be interesting to see how well pflog can keep up with 5G full duplex stream. thanks for the feedback diana Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005)

Only ix(4), myx(4) and maybe oce(4) are viable options. ixgb(4) is pci-x only and slow. tht(4) has its own sets of issues and is not really available on the market anymore. xge(4) may work but is not popular and che(4) is not working at all. -- :wq Claudio > On 15/08/2013, at 9:09 AM, Diana Eichert wrote: > > > What I want to do. > > > > create a netflow collector using OpenBSD by looking at > > data fed from a tap > > > > I know which 10G NICs are supported by OpenBSD, what I'd > > like to hear is a recommendation on which one of the > > following to use. > > > > $ apropos 10G > > che, cheg (4) - Chelsio Communications 10Gb Ethernet device > > ix (4) - Intel 82598/82599/X540 PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device > > ixgb (4) - Intel PRO/10GbE 10Gb Ethernet device > > myx (4) - Myricom Myri-10G PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device > > oce (4) - Emulex OneConnect 10Gb Ethernet device > > tht, thtc (4) - Tehuti Networks 10Gb Ethernet device > > xge (4) - Neterion Xframe/Xframe II 10Gb Ethernet device > > > > I do have a few Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S available already. > > However I have funds available to get something else if one > > of the other cards performs better. > > > > thanks > > > > diana > > > > > > Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. > > Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005)
Re: 10G NIC recommendation
I have only run (and still do run) 10G networking over ix(4), but those seems to work fine enough. The limit does not seem to be the HW in that case, as the recent 10G discussions state. 2013/8/15 Diana Eichert > What I want to do. > > create a netflow collector using OpenBSD by looking at > data fed from a tap > > I know which 10G NICs are supported by OpenBSD, what I'd > like to hear is a recommendation on which one of the > following to use. > > $ apropos 10G > che, cheg (4) - Chelsio Communications 10Gb Ethernet device > ix (4) - Intel 82598/82599/X540 PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device > ixgb (4) - Intel PRO/10GbE 10Gb Ethernet device > myx (4) - Myricom Myri-10G PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device > oce (4) - Emulex OneConnect 10Gb Ethernet device > tht, thtc (4) - Tehuti Networks 10Gb Ethernet device > xge (4) - Neterion Xframe/Xframe II 10Gb Ethernet device > > I do have a few Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S available already. > However I have funds available to get something else if one > of the other cards performs better. > > thanks > > diana > > > Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. > Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005) > > -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.

im using myx(4). im biased though.

My only experience is with the X540, but I have no complaints. Here's a discussion of some testing that I did last week: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=137588569703330&w=2
10G NIC recommendation
What I want to do. create a netflow collector using OpenBSD by looking at data fed from a tap I know which 10G NICs are supported by OpenBSD, what I'd like to hear is a recommendation on which one of the following to use. $ apropos 10G che, cheg (4) - Chelsio Communications 10Gb Ethernet device ix (4) - Intel 82598/82599/X540 PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device ixgb (4) - Intel PRO/10GbE 10Gb Ethernet device myx (4) - Myricom Myri-10G PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device oce (4) - Emulex OneConnect 10Gb Ethernet device tht, thtc (4) - Tehuti Networks 10Gb Ethernet device xge (4) - Neterion Xframe/Xframe II 10Gb Ethernet device I do have a few Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S available already. However I have funds available to get something else if one of the other cards performs better. thanks diana Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005)
