Initial End-to-End Performance Evaluation of 10-Gigabit Ethernet

Tags:
ethernet

Overview This paper presents an initial end-to-end performance evaluation of Intel's 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network interface card (or adapter). With appropriate optimizations to the configurations of Linux, TCP, and the 10GbE adapter, over 4-Gb/s throughput and 21- Âµs end-to-end latency is achieved between applications in a local-area network despite using less capable, lower-end PCs. These results indicate that 10GbE may also be a cost-effective solution for system-area networks in commodity clusters, data centers, and web-server farms as well as wide-area networks in support of computational and data grids.
