Hi all! I'm getting ~125-250kbps between two 100Mbps ethernet interfaces on a m0n0 1.21 install i'm working with. The code running off of a bootable cd on a 800mhz dell workstation. The LAN interface is using the fxp driver (i'm not sure what kind of card exactly), and the DMZ interface is using a netgear card (sis driver). Both interfaces are attached to Cisco switching gear, the internal to a Cat 5505, the DMZ to a Cat 2924xl, everything set to autonegotiate. I've disabled traffic shaper, checked the 'interface polling' box, looked for collisions or other indications of duplex issues on the ethernet ports, and i haven't found anything. I ran a capture on both sides to compare packets of a file transfer, and i'm getting an enormous number of retransmits on the 'DMZ' side...it looks like i'm somehow losing frames coming from the DMZ back to the LAN (sis to fxp). I have four cards total, and i notice the same performance issue coming from another sis card back to the LAN. This happens regardless of the system or OS used on either end of the communication (RedHat, Debian, Win2k, XP, Solaris). I'm going to try an Intel or 3com card on Thursday when i return to the office. There are four cards total, three sis and the one fxp, i suppose it could be an interrupt or other issue on the firewall, but i would think the polling would reduce or eliminate that...it had no noticable effect. Any hints/tips/suggestions would be appreciated! Bob |
