nforce2 network thoughput
Hi,
I took the updated network drivers on my nforce2 based system (EP8RDA+ running debian woody, kernel 2.4.18) and did a simple throughput test.
ping -s 1024 -f -c 2000 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I have a local 100MBit network and also tried a x-cable without any switch or hub in between.
I was able to transmit the 2000 packets in about 1 second.
The second test I did was a ftp connection between 2 computers. This brings a transfer rate of about 1.7MByte/s. The CPU load rises some times up to 50%.
When I do both tests together they do not influence each other, so both test run at same performance. When I run 2 times ping (with higher count) and also the ftp all three test reach a throughput of about 2MByte/s.
I use the parameter optimization=0 for the nvnet module in order to reach full best performance.
Was anybody able to reach full 100MBit/s performance with nforce2 hardware in a single connection?
Has anybody an idea what could cause the low performance of a single transmission?
