Channelbonding Benchmark

(1) netperf

Setup

• a) S01 --> T1, with and w/o bonding
• b) T1 --> T2, with and w/o bonding (MAC and Layer3+4 hashing) (all possible configs for even/odd MAC combinations)
• c) T1 --> T2+T3 with bonding (MAC and Layer3+4 hashing)

Command

netperf -H [host] -t TCP_STREAM -C -c -l 60
netperf -H [host] -t TCP_SENDFILE -l 60 -C -c -F /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-intel-atlas-generic
netperf -H [host] -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -C -c -- -m 8972 -s 1M -S 1M
netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -H [host] -C -c -f m -v 2 -- -b 4 -r 64K,64K

Results

a) S01 --> T1

b) T1 --> T2

• No Bonding
