Hello, Has anyone out there done any tcp/ip benchmarks? max packets per sec with fast-ethernet max throughput per sec with fast-ethernet What card combinations have people tried? Does adding multiple 100 Mbs cards help? Or are we already CPU limited with one card when driving for max packet rate. What happens for throughput, do additional cards help? - generally max packet rate occurs with the smallest packet size (UDP 8 bytes) + ethernet size I would also like to know about ftp performance. What buffer sizes does FreeBSD allocate for each command connection? What size for each data connection? I would guess that it uses a window size according to a client, but I can see this becoming a real problem if the ftpd has to allocate and free buffers in a high performance environment. I'm particularly interested in number of concurrent downloads vs. number of concurrent user sessions. While the server supports 2000 users quite well (ftp.cdrom.com) how does it do when 100-200 simultaneous downloads are taking place? Has anyone noted behavior for various connect speeds? Thank you, Brad Hlista bjh@instanton.com
