I've got a very complex problem so every advice is appreciated. I've got a router on 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD. It's got hardware (in short): - Intel Pentium III 500 MHz - NIC 3Com 10/100 in 100baseTX <full-duplex> - NIC 3Com 10/100 in 100baseTX <full-duplex> - NIC 3Com 10/100 in 100baseTX <full-duplex> - NIC 3Com 900 Combo 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> - NIC 3Com 900 Combo 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> Sometimes through this router network works slowly and it is natural right thing. Therefore we are going to split router on two. My questions are common for such situations: - How trobleshoot network activity? - How can I find bottlenecks in this situation?=20 - What counters should I examine? - What is the maximum limits for such counters? (As I can examine interrupts but I don't know reasonable limits. I've heard about maximum 4500 interrupts). - What are advices for improving the configuration? (except hardware routers) May be there are web resources for troubleshooting such situations and finding bottlenecks. Thanks in advance. Dmitry. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C18227.AAC352A7 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 6.0.4712.0"> <TITLE>Router based on FreeBSD.</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> <P><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi, = all.</FONT></SPAN> <BR><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I've got a very = complex problem so every advice is appreciated.</FONT></SPAN> <BR><SPAN LANG=3D"en-us"><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I've got a router = on 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD.
