RE: throughput question

I am currently working on a 8245 based board with 2.4.27 e100 driver
and when taking in (and processing streams), only about 50 Mbps can be
handled: about half of the time is based in kernel space (handling
interrupts).

Is your e100 driver having NAPI support?
What's the cache size of your cache system? Do you make use of smart
coherency access? What about prefetch's?

What's the throughput(and overhead) of your application on the loopback =
device?

As a result, I am a bit wondering about the higher bitrates. How much
do you achieve on tests with what hardware?

Good question. IMHO, every manufacturer should advertise these values.
Shouldn't they be proud of them?
