Hello, I`ve some problems with the network performance on my Soekris NET 4801. (Freebsd 6.1 release-p3) When I start "netio" on the soekris and do a "netio localhost", I get about 8.4 MB/sec, and when I start with "netio 192.168.0.11"(it´s localhost address) I get only ~2.3 MB/sec. That´s what top says when I do: localhost CPU states: 2.3% user, 0.0% nice, 72.5% system, 25.2% interrupt, 0.0% idle 192.168.0.11 CPU states: 1.2% user, 0.0% nice, 46.3% system, 52.5% interrupt, 0.0% idle As you can see, the interrupt load is more than doubled when I use the Ip address, and I´ve no idea why. Here are some other throughput results of the soekris: openbsd# ftp 192.16.8.0.20 2.0 MB/sec openbsd# iperf localhost 1.4 Mbit/sec openbsd# iperf 192.168.0.11(it´s localhost address) 1.4 Mbit/sec openbsd# netperf localhost 70MB/sec openbsd# netperf 192.168.0.11(it´s localhost address) 70MB/sec freebsd# ftp 192.168.0.20 2.3 MB/sec Freebsd# iperf localhost 45 Mbit/sec Freebsd# iperf 192.168.0.11 (it´s localhost address) 19 Mbit/sec Freebsd# netperf localhost 67 Mbit/sec Freebsd# netperf 192.168.0.11 (it´s localhost address) 19 Mbit/sec What causes the difference between localhost and the ip address on Freebsd? On Openbsd there is no diffenerce at all. Greetings -- Erstellt mit Operas revolutionärem E-Mail-Modul: http://www.opera.com/mail/
