We've done a lot of testing with Netgear switches and Sun Rays and the Netgear switches have *horrible* performance when there is a lot of UDP traffic.
Cisco, Juniper, Foundry, and F10 all work great. On a similar note, Netgear implements almost all of their switch features in software, not hardware ASICs, so switch performance drops exponentially as you enable features. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Bender Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 1:43 PM To: SunRay-Users mailing list Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Graphic performance problems with SunRay 2FS What does utcapture show? Recently we had a NetGear GigE switch at a trade show. Dropped packets like crazy. Brought in a cheap CompUSA 100 TX switch and all the problems went away. Noted that you did /etc/system work-around, did you reboot?
