鵝來貼個linux下的測試結果好了... BTW,測試環境是以約2m的CAT5e直接對接,client是S754的Sempron2500+1GB DDR400+PCI-E 88E8053,server是AM2的Sempron3000+2GB DDRII667+MCP51內建的GbE(PHY也是Marvell的),沒開Jumbo Frame(因為linux不知為何沒辦法開MCP51 GbE的off loading及Jumbo Frame等功能)....

只開一個connection,88E8053 default有開offloading時

root@lab01:~# ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:

同上,關閉所有off loading....

重新打開所有off loading,開10個connection....

throughput約略與只開一個connection關off loading時相當,CPU loading由33%上升至40%(約20%)....

總結看來還不錯(吃CPU沒想像中的兇)....BTW,鵝發現iperf在M$ Win中開的buffer(TCP win)有點小---default只有8k,不知是否是iperf win32版binary版本較舊所致,若調大時(i.e. -w 64k)對throughput有不小的助益,測試結果不理想者可以試試....

我是推薦 Marvell 以及 Broadcom 的網路晶片
3Com 3C2000-T (Marvell, 32-bit, 33/66MHz PCI)
Broadcom BCM5703 (Single Port GbE, 32/64-bit, 33/66MHz PCI bus)
Broadcom BCM5704 (Dual Port GbE, 32/64-bit, 33/66MHz PCI bus)
都很流暢 也很穩 入手價都在NT$1000以下 因為都是 Second Hand
Realtek GbE沒用過 不知道流暢度如何

在digit-life/ixbt-labs 的測試上, Marvell晶片在小封包傳輸上表現非常突出, Broadcom晶片在大封包傳輸上獲勝, Intel晶片表現平平

Intel 的網路卡, 82559 (100Mbps) 獨立網卡 以及82540EM (GbE) 不知為何 在我的系統上就是跑不順 感覺 頓頓的 Yahoo Games 幾乎都連不上 Intel/AMD 系統都試過了 也換過驅動程式 就是沒用

3C2000-T我之前找說停產了 囧

小弟想請教幾個問題,請不吝指教
1)請問Single port 以及Dual port有何明顯的差異?是Dual較高階對嗎?
2)上述幾款NIC若是全新的價位會是多少?
3)除了上述晶片之外 Broadcom 5708,5721 以及 Marvell 88E8053(還是8503?)的等級如何呢?

不好意思,新手上路,需要各位高手幫忙
多謝多謝

鵝多嘴一下,dual port通常是拿來架firewall/router或trunking居多,不過若是接在33MHz PCI上統統是白搭----就算CPU跑得動,一片GbE就快把整個33MHz PCI32塞爆了 ....



鵝印象中server級的PCI-X GbE通常要NT3K起跳,dual port者恐怕沒NT$6-7K起跳是搞不定的,沒特殊須求的話通常是不建議隨便入手的....

PS:88E8053是PCI-E的(不過是desktop等級的卡),鵝入手價在NT$12xx左右...

感謝感謝
其實我並不是要買網卡
而是臨時工作上需要這些資訊
並且我之前又不是在這個field
所以才在猛抱佛腳
學海無涯啊~~~~
