Thanks to all who wrote about the DLINK-DFE570TX. I had no idea quad =
port NICs were so cheap.=20
According to Dlink's website the DFE570TX is capable of delivering a =
bandwidth of 800 Mb/s. Is this just the marketing department distorting =
the facts? Since 4 x 100 Mb =3D 400Mb I'm guessing they're referring to =
full Duplex operation, i.e. 400Mb/s send + 400Mb/s receive =3D 800Mb/s?? =
Also, how does one configure these things? Do you just set all the ports =
to the same IP address, or is it more complicated than that?
I read an article a while back about tuning Samba. In this article =
they made a reference to "binding" one of the CPUs in an SMP machine to =
the NIC. Is this possible under FreeBSD (4.1)? Can someone point me at a =
URL which tells how to do it? So far my searches haven't turned up =
anything useful.
Thanks in advance,
~Brandon
