Useful Networking Adapter Performance Guidelines

Networking performance has increasingly become one of the most important factors in overall system performance. Many of the factors that affect networking performance fall under the following three categories: Network adapter hardware and driver performance, network stack performance, and the way applications interact with the network stack. We will highlight some of the more important networking adapter properties and advanced features available to yield optimal performance. Introduction Networking performance is measured in throughput and response time. It is also important to achieve the optimal performance operating point without over-utilizing the system resources. To reach that optimal performance point, the network adapter vendors have enhanced their hardware capabilities to improve scalability, the amount of time to process data, and built in capabilities to dynamically adjust hardware and software parameters depending on workload characteristics. Network Adapter Hardware Ove...

NIC Teaming Step By Step on HP Servers

Network adapter teaming Introduction: How to setup NIC team on a HP ProLiant DL 380 for fault tolerance and Load Balance NIC teaming is the process of grouping together several physical NICs into one single logical NIC, which can be used for network fault tolerance and transmit load balance. The process of grouping NICs is called teaming. Teaming has two purposes: • Fault Tolerance: By teaming more than one physical NIC to a logical NIC, high availability is maximized. Even if one NIC fails, the network connection does not cease and continues to operate on other NICs. • Load Balancing: Balancing the network traffic load on a server can enhance the functionality of the server and the network. Load balancing within network interconnect controller (NIC) teams enables distributing traffic amongst the members of a NIC team so that traffic is routed among all available paths.

Large Send Offload Error Resolution

Troubleshooting HP NIC Teaming Tips 1. Load the Windows latest service pack and HP drivers for NIC. 2. You may need to install HP latest Support Pack too. 3. Use dynamic IP addresses before configuring the NIC teaming. Then assign static IP after the NIC teaming works. 4. It is better to have these NICs connecting to the same switches. 5. If Large Send Offload (LSO) is enabled, some NICs can only team in Microsoft Operating Systems with another same NIC. If LSO is disabled, most HP NIC can team with all of HP ProLiant NC-Series NICs without problems. 6. Check for either mismatched speed/duplex settings or auto speed duplex on one or all links. Make sure using the same speed on both sides for all links. 7. Check the switch configuration to see that the channeling is configured.
