Page 3: Introduction
Gigabit Ethernet Performance in rp7410 Servers introduction HP leads the industry in PCI Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) performance, reliability, and supportability. With the introduction of the second generation PCI Gigabit Ethernet Adapters, HP extends its leadership position. HP’s new 1000Base-SX NIC solution (using multi-mode fiber cable and supporting distances of up to 550m) and 1000Base-T NIC solution (using CAT5 UTP cable and supporting distances of up to 100m) both offer the same level of performance with the only difference being cost and distance. -

Page 5: Test Configuration
Gigabit Ethernet Performance in rp7410 Servers test configuration The test configuration consists of an 8-way (750 MHz) rp7410 with 16 Gigabytes of system memory and eight A6847A Gigabit Ethernet cards. The cards were connected to one of two HP 9304M Procurve Routing Switches. -
Page 6: Gigabit Ethernet Performance Data
gigabit ethernet performance data The performance of the Gigabit Ethernet adapters is measured with the following traffic types: Transmit (TX) using netperf with socket size of 128K bytes and message size of 32K bytes Receive (RX) using netperf with socket size of 128K bytes and message size of 32K bytes Bi-directional (BD) running the TX and RX tests concurrently NOTE: The A6749-60001 core LAN/SCSI card in the rp7410 had only minimal site LAN traffic during... -

Page 10: Performance Highlights
performance highlights The rp7410 provides incredible network performance, supporting up to four Gigabit Ethernet NICs running at link rate simultaneously with unidirectional traffic. The rp7410 scales linearly through four NICs with unidirectional traffic for industry-leading Gigabit Ethernet performance. Additional Gigabit Ethernet NICs can be added for greater connectivity, up to a total of 15 NICs for the system. - Page 11 The information in this document is subject to change without notice.
