Hi Stuart,
for the moment we have only tested these chipsets, but we are investigating among all the different users on the type of network card and the performance achieved. If any of the users
with a Broadcom NIC will give us some feedback I'll let you know something.

Hi Stefano,

Curious -- have you seen similar issues with Broadcom chipsets?

Hi all,
we are using the Winpcap library inside a low-latency audio/visual
streaming system named "LoLa"
(http://www.conts.it/artistica/lola-project/lola-low-latency-audio-visual-streaming-system).

More precisely we are using Winpcap to send about 55300 packet per
second with the pcap_sendqueue_queue and pcap_sendqueue_transmit
commands; each packet is 1000 bytes in size and the Lan speed is 1Gbit. The system performs very well (so thanks for you great job) but we have
noticed a different behavior using
some network adapters. With the Realtek or Marvell chipsets we are able
to send/receive only half of the packets,
but when we use Intel NICs we are able to send and receive all the
packets (no drops and with the network monitor
showing, correctly, 98% of utilization); for our project it means that
we are sending/receiving a video stream at
60fps (uncompressed RGB, 24bit, 640x480).
The Intel chipsets are 82574 and 82579 … we have tested many computers
with the same result and the same
behavior occurs even using the MS Winsock libraries, so it does not seem
to be a problem related specifically to
the winpcap library but generally to the NICs chipset.

Has someone had similar experiences in the past or perhaps some
suggestions on how to improve the network
performance for Realtek/Marvell (or generally "low-cost") network chipset?

Thanks in advance,
Stefano Bonetti
