Not All Servers Are Alike (With DNA)
PF_RING DNA is a great success for us as we see the users community grow every day. At the same time, sometimes we receive complains of people who say that they can’t reach the performance we observed (i.e. 1/10 Gbit RX and TX wire-rate with any packet size) in our laboratory. Today thanks to Donald Skidmore of Intel we have found a way to measure whether a certain server is adequate (from the hardware point of view) for the wire rate in particular with small packets. The problem is apparently …
