looking for network performance comparison chart

[SilverNodashi]

Hi all,

Does anyone have, or know of a comparison chart of the different network adapters, i.e. 1GB / 10GB, Infiniband, etc. And if possible with a few top brand NIC's and switches listed as well.

I would like to see, for example, what the max throughput is of a 1GB NIC (and this could probably differ from PCI to PCIE-x1 to PCIE-x4), and 10GBE. Different switches would probably also have different ratings, but could a layer 2 switch & layer3 switch deliver the same performance for example?

Basically I need to know what upload / download speeds I should be getting from the different networks, set aside other options like CPU / RAM / disc IO / etc.

I have tried google already, but didn't get anything useful.

Erm, that is a tall order I reckon. Maybe try googling NIC/Ethernet Adapter clustering performance etc. Usually the propeller heads building number crunching clusters that research stuff like that.

You get network adapters and then you get the cheaper schit. Best to look at server NICs, I know Intel used to have some pretty good ones.

All the best.
