Subject: [PATCH 5/7] I/OAT: set tcp_dma_copybreak to 256k for I/OAT ver.3
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:05:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090226100515.3615.70407.stgit@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090226100327.3615.21419.stgit@linux.site>
Upcoming server platforms from Intel based on the Nehalem performance
have significantly improved CPU based copy performance.
However, the DMA engine can still be effective at higher I/O sizes
for TCP traffic and at this time copybreak
should be set to 256k for TCP traffic only.
