I am running stock kernel settings.
I would naively expect that the default kernel settings for both Linux and FreeBSD would allow me to saturate a 1Gbit link in a LAN.
Anyway, this looks like one of those things I could go down the rabbit hole of tuning (so I'm not just copy-pasting swathes of configuration without understanding it), but this was just a quick demo which shows that: "basically, the userspace implementation isn't too slow".
- tachion 6y agoAt least in case of FreeBSD, the network saturation isn't an active goal of default kernel settings, hence the link I've pasted. It's especially nice, as it explains a lot of things it proposes so that the blind copy&paste wouldn't be so blind. It's really a good read. And I do get a point of your test and I agree with the anecdotal conclusion :)
