Performance and Recommended Use of AD222A, AD393A, and AD221A PCIe Combination 4-Gbit/s Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet Cards

Gigabit Ethernet Only Performance
Figure 6 shows the performance results of the Gigabit Ethernet ports using a standard
1500-byte MTU is being run through the card.
The following highlights show the exceptional performance achieved during Gigabit
Ethernet traffic testing:
• Transmit traffic achieved link rate on the rx6600 reaching 948 megabits per second
on one port and 1.895 gigabits of application data per second of throughput using
both 1000 Base-T ports.
• Receive Traffic achieved link rate on the rx6600 reaching 948 megabits per second
on one port and 1.895 gigabits per second using both 1000 Base-T ports.
• Bi-directional Traffic achieved link rate on the rx6600 reaching 1880 megabits per
second on one port and 3.762 gigabits per second using both 1000 Base-T ports.
