My original message is at the bottom. I've got no answers from the mailing list, and only when I opened service case with SUN Support I've got a solution: they recomended to enable recieve and transmit pause: ndd -set /dev/ge adv_pauseRX 1 ndd -set /dev/ge adv_pauseTX 1 (it looks like the second setting disabled by default) Now I can go as fast as 75-80 Mbyte/s without any errors. regards, Vladimir. --- V S <vvsap@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > > I'm running Solaris 8 on E3500 (8 x 400MHz cpu, 4GB > mem, two gigabit NICs). > The system is receiving data from about 20 external > sources 0.5-1.5 MByte/s each (12-20 MByte/s total) > using one gigabit interface, and then sending out > processed data using another gigabit interface. > > The problem: > > input interface is having very high rate of input > errors > > # netstat -I ge0 1 > > gives 10 errors/s (mean value), while there is no > errors on the switch side (no negotiation problems) > nor on output interface (almoust the same data rate > but with one stream only). > > It doesn't depend from NICs nor cables. > > The system is not overloaded: load average is about > 4.4 > > Is it a know problem of ge driver? > > can anyone help me troubleshoot this? > > thanks, > Vladimir. > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
