You should have a read of Flain's journey to 10gigE

http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...d.php?t=944153

For me personally I took the "lets buy stuff that works" route and went with Broadcom Dual port 10gigE SFP+ cards @ $250 a pop.

truth be told, i have no idea whose silicon Woven used in their switches, other than that i know they didn't do their own, but if it was Broadcom its likely its not even stuff that is listed anymore in http://www.broadcom.com/docs/press/product_brochure.pdf

Hive posted in that thread.

Its interesting to see the different ways people are doing it.

Hive actually has an expandable network. His server could uplink at 10Gb to multiple users on Gb while having various boxen also on the 10gb connection.

To be said with a Jaws like, we need a bigger boat, you need a faster array!

Quick run on Iperf, i still have to setup Jumbo frames and fix the offloading, it's using almost 100% of an X5355 Quad Core Xeon

Bang, 600MB/s throughput.

Any way of getting the cpu load down at all, its putting me off a bit. But looking at flicking my microserver in favor a DL180 G6 to pair up with my xen host

I am having all manner of fuckery making a decision which to go with infiniband and use IBoE or use 10GBe copper. A mate of mine has been running QDR infiniband for all his rollouts and reckons DDR might be the go on the cheap

Reckon you could hit 900mb hive?

Easily. Seen a few similar cards which can hang around the ~8000-9000Mbit range

Just having problems getting Jumbo Frames running properly (On the switch, NFI how to configure jumbo frames on Woven gear, going to try a direct host connection now).

Yeah, Woven no longer exist.

Good news though, got it up to ~700MB/s with 15% usage of an i7 950 @ 4.2. Pretty good for windows eh?
Code:
[SUM] 25.0-26.0 sec  0.67 GBytes  5.73 Gbits/sec
Jumbo frames work on a Host<--->Host connection , now to get the switch playing...

Although the other node was a little shithouse, so with a faster end node may yield better Jperf results... the end was only running a Xeon X5355, not latest by any definition.

Wow pretty sweet. So obviously jumbo frames issues. Why wouldn't jumbo frames be setup on as default on the switch?.. Seems insane. I would imagine frame size would be the same for the 1gb as for 10gb?

I know the feeling going to get something to replace out my e5606 been looking at a couple of E5645's which should be allot better on the host

I still think I might go 10GBe copper over IB though
