On the Sol10 network inquiry. They have rearchitected the stack so that =
UDP and TCP are not separate STREAMS between IP. They have combined them =
to improve on efficiency by about 20% on network transactions.

That is all I know at this point.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Sun GigaSwift (ce) cards
I am using these cards with little tuning, but I am also using these to
create a trunk (cisco etherchannel) with them for our backup network.
The backup servers have a 4 x 1gig trunk to the backup network. This
works very well . . .
I also just found out that the trunk software is free to use on solaris
10 (we normally pay about $1500 for anything other than sol10). I was
also told that sol10 has big performance gains for the networking, but I
am not sure specifically what those gains are, I will try to find out
from one of our sun guys.
Has anyone used jumbo frames? We are thinking about doing this on our
backup network but I believe that ALL the clients that use that network
would have to be configured for jumbo frames. Does anyone know this for
sure?
Thanks!

I am using a couple in Solaris 9 master/media servers. The only tuning
I have done is make sure they are doing 1Gb auto, and have the adv_pause
setting enabled.
