Solaris 10 can drive a 10Gb link at 7.3Gbps (limited by PCI-X bandwidth) using 2x2.2Ghz opteron CPUs utilized at less than 50% https://sunaytripathi.wordpress.

Now the PCIe is multiple times faster than the old PCI-X, and in addition to being several times faster then the old Opteron 939 and 940 series, modern intel based systems have 80 CPU's or more.
- wmf 10y agoLet's call that 3.3 Gbps/GHz. Linux can now drive 25 Gbps with a single 4 GHz core, so that's over 6 Gbps/GHz. Given the number of years involved, it's hard to tell how much improvement is due to hardware and how much is software. But I'm not blown away.
- peterwwillis 10y agoYou are still quoting throughput when i'm quoting frame/packet rate. On top of this the line you have in italics doesn't show up on that page (it shows up in two random websites that provide no detail as to that claim), I have no idea what "page nine" on my resolution monitor is compared to yours, and you're trying to suggest something about the PCI bus being a factor (which it isn't; the limiting factor is cycles per packet). So I don't think you understand what's going on.
- Annatar 10y agoMy apologies, wrong link. This is hard to do on a mobile telephone. http://www.baylisa.org/library/slides/2005/august2005.pdf http://www.baylisa.org/library/slides/2005/august2005.pdf, page nine, and in more detail further in the document.
