[mpls-linux-devel] Kernel 2.6.32.11 or better

[Chris R. <Chr...@nr...>]

Hi Jim

I was wondering if you are working to get mpls-linux updated to at least 
kernel 2.6.32-11 (aka the latest Fedora 12 update)?

I have several Dell 610 Nehalem CPU based system to test MPLS-Linux 10GE 
performance on but all are running FC12.

Non-MPLS path 10GE performance improvements on Nehalem systems is 
remarkable.  Typical Quad-Core systems get about 5G or 6G but with the 
Nehalem I'm seeing almost line rate at about 9.8G sustained for non-MPLS 
test throughput.  Thus I'd like to see how the MPLS-Linux can improve 
over past performance test.

I have been working a new patch but as in the past there are dramatic 
changes to the kernel from 2.6.27 (current MPLS git level) to 
2.6.32-11.  Notably with skbuff, which so far my changes are failing 
miserably.
