Performance Tuning

Features - Multi-queue

RHEL5 has support for several vendors RX multi-queue
●
Typically enabled via script or module parameters

Still no TX multi-queue (that I know of at least)

RX Multi-queue big gainer when there are multiple applications
using the network
●
Use affinity for queues and match queue to task (taskset)
●
Potential advantage with single version of netperf if you have
slower CPUs / memory
