<h2>Netperf Cluster</h2>
<p>Through the generous donations and investment of Sentex Data
Communications, FreeBSD Systems, IronPort Systems, and the FreeBSD
Foundation, a network performance testbed has been created in Ontario,
Canada for use by FreeBSD developers working in the area of network
performance. A similar cluster, made possible through the generous
donation of Verio, is being prepared for use in more general SMP
performance work in Virginia, US. Each cluster consists of several SMP
systems inter-connected with giga-bit ethernet such that relatively
arbitrary topologies can be constructed in order to test host-host, IP
forwarding, and bridging performance scenarios. Systems are network
booted, have serial console, and remote power, in order to maximize
availability and minimize configuration overhead. These systems are
available on a check-out basis for experimentation and performance
measurement to FreeBSD developers working on the Netperf project, and
in related areas.</p>
