sorry to revive an old thread, but I've been asked to identify the bottlenecks in our service. how many packets per second, as a guess to the nearest order of magnitude, should an Intel core2duo running at 1.8GHz manage over a gigabit (not jumbo frame) fully non-blocking switch fabric? Would we be able to manage 160,000 pps? thanks, Paul -- Newsflash: following a catastrophic devaluation, 101 in binary is now worth just 5 in decimal - Stob. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
