Since iperf uses tcp by default, the congestion control methods used on the test systems may affect the test results quite seriously. Most of the cc methods known to freebsd were not designed with short high capasity links in mind. Many of those cc methods were in fact intended for long distances and high bandwidth. In this case the RTT is very short while many of the CC methods expext much higher RTTs. For the best results on short distances and high bandwidth enable ECN bits and use dctcp. The dctcp method was from day one intended to behave gracefully also when RTT is very short and the bandwidth is large. --jau On 03/10/2015 7:30 Jim Thompson wrote: > On Oct 3, 2015, at 2:53 AM, TooMeeK Admin <maps@toomeek.waw.pl> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm very interested what exacly image was used here?

What would jumbo frames do for you, other than potentially (and arti= ficially) decease the interrupt rate?
