click performance

[Amit Dror]

Hi,

we have set-up an environment with a click router and Intel EEPro 1000
gigabit cards.

Running a test of 64 byte packet stream we have reached only 325,000 packets
per second with the following hardware configuration:

IBM Netfinity 4500R
Dual Intel PIII 1000Mhz (booted UP kernel) , 256MB RAM
2 x Intel PRO/1000 NICs

The click router is running a simple IP router configuration generated by
make-ip-conf.pl

As this is quite far from the reported 1.3 million 64 byte packets per
second result  we try to understand what causes the difference.

Is it possible to get the hardware configuration in which the 1.3 million 64
byte packets per second was measured ?

Do you have any idea about what may cause this difference ?

Thanks,
