Performance and Recommended Use of AD385A 10 Gigabit Ethernet SR Cards

Scalability Tests
10
Request-Response tests were also run to demonstrate the capability of the adapter to handle
traffic of this nature. Again, tests were run with one, two, three and four AD385A adapters.
The aggregate transactions that could be sustained with the processors running close to
saturation were captured. These are shown in Figure 7.
