Hi,
I was taking performance on HP FLEX-10 machine over LAN and VLAN on FreeBSD 8.2. I observed that performance over VLAN is varying with regards to iperf commands. Below are the two cases I observed.
case 1:
The transmit performance with above command over VLAN is same as transmit performance over LAN.
case 2:
The transmit performance with above command over VLAN is less (2Gbps) compared to transmit performance over LAN.
NIC is having VLAN TSO offload and VLAN tagging offload as well. Below is my ifconfig
Does a lower number of parallel client threads degrade performance? Does anyone have similar performance issues over VLAN?
Regards

iperf -c serverip -i 3 -t 999 [color="Red"]-P 8[/color] -w 128k

Code:

Does a lower number of parallel client threads degrade performance? Does anyone have similar performance issues over VLAN?
