    Netperf Cluster

    + +

    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.
