Subject: tuning linux for high network performance?
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 12:18:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200210231218.18733.roy@karlsbakk.net> (raw)

hi

I've got this video server serving video for VoD. problem is the P4 1.8 seems 
to be maxed out by a few system calls. The below output is for ~50 clients 
streaming at ~4.5Mbps. if trying to increase this to ~70, the CPU maxes out.

Does anyone have an idea?
