If it's 70k pps with input/output aggregated, all the following figures have to be divided by 2).</div><div>I heard that some people around get 3000 calls on one box.</div><div>So they get those 3000 calls probably spreading the load among multiple gigE cards.</div><div><br></div><div>It's an important information to have for people building quite large switches that one gigE card won't handle more than 1000 calls with a regular kernel.</div><div>Perhaps even 800 if you want to stay on the safe side.</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1C00FF">David Ponzone </font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Direction Technique</span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; ">email: <a href="mailto:david.ponzone@ipeva.fr">david.ponzone@ipeva.fr</a></span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; ">tel: 01 74 03 18 97</span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; ">gsm: 06 66 98 76 34</span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1C00FF" face="'Helvetica Neue'">Service Client<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#FF0000">IP</font></font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1C00FF" face="'Helvetica Neue'">eva</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1C00FF" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; ">tel: 0811 46 26 26</span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Helvetica Neue'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Arial; color: rgb(0, 34, 243); "><span style="text-decoration: underline; "><a href="BLOCKED::http://www.ipeva.fr/">www.ipeva.fr</a></span><span style="color: rgb(101, 104, 149); "> - <span style="color: rgb(0, 34, 243); text-decoration: underline; "><a href="BLOCKED::http://www.ipeva-studio.com/">www.ipeva-studio.com</a></span></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Arial; color: rgb(0, 34, 243); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline; "><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Arial; color: rgb(0, 34, 243); "><span class="Apple-style-span"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal Arial; color: rgb(192, 192, 192); "><i>Ce message et toutes les pièces jointes sont confidentiels et établis à l'intention exclusive de ses destinataires.
