Linux Networking Scalability on High-Performance Scalable Servers
Overview Much has already been written about networking performance, optimization, and tuning on a variety of hardware, platforms, and operating systems under various workloads. 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. This paper examines and demonstrates Linux networking scalability on a multi-node, high-performance system as it utilizes system board gigabit Ethernet adapters from 1 to 4 nodes.
