(3c985 or 3c996)None of them! Or at least not tigon3! I''ve tried to use one (3c996-T), and I experienced strange system lockups. The board is a dual Tyan Tiger MP with couple of Athlon MP 1600+. It was just hanging from time to time with completely no output of any kind. Just rock solid lockup. :/ Anyway, I changed to a good old 3c905C and now I don''t have any problems. Well, I''m serving at half of your rate, but anyway. So, I would suggest using HP equipment. At least I''ve heard that it works quote well. -- _____________________________________________________________ With kind regards, Nickola
Hi, first i wonna thank you for the great work. I have few slack boxes with several 3com cards that acts as routers. Some of them has 50+ vlans, 100 000+ routing entries, full BGP (zebra) with 10+ peers and routes 50-70 mb/s traffic. Everithing is rock solid, few months uptimes. I wona to upgrade some of my cards and need advice what to use. On 100+mb/s interrups killing my boxes - 20 000+/s (yes, coalescing, i know:)) What to use? tigon2 or tigon3 for gigabit? (3c985 or 3c996) and - is there any performance changes between 3c905 and 3c980 (both 100mb/s) like coalescing, checksums ... Thanks again for the work.
