“Much has been written about networking performance,
optimization, and tuning on a variety of hardware, platforms, and
operating systems under various workloads. After all, the
proliferation of high-performance scalable servers (such as the IBM
eServer xSeries x460 and the IBM System x 3950) has added a new
level of complexity to networking and system performance. For
instance, scalable servers whose capacity can be increased by
adding full chassis (or nodes) add networking scalability across
multi-node systems as a significant ingredient in overall system
performance.“The system under test (SUT) is a four-node IBM eServer xSeries
460 running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 for AMD64 and EM64T
(x86-64)…”
