Routing performance with 10 Gigabit Ethernet
*Excerpt
Routing performance is often used as a gauge of performance when evaluating a system. I will discuss some of the problems and solutions we found when trying to route line rate bi-directional traffic using off the shelf hardware.
Description
Routing 64 byte packets bidirectionally is the standard test for many LAN and platform customers of Intel. Routing at line rate is the holy grail, and while CPU speed and memory bandwidth is increasing dramatically, actually using that bandwidth with an Ethernet I/O device is difficult. This paper will explain some of the tuning and results we have achieved with the latest generation of 10 Gigabit ethernet hardware combined with the latest processors/chipsets.
