Performance Summary

Performance Summary
The AD385A card provides exceptional performance when used in accordance with the
recommendations in this paper. Tests with a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of 9000
bytes and 1500 bytes show that the AD385A provides link-rate throughput for both transmit
and receive tests when the recommended models are used.
During scalability tests, the AD385A exhibited excellent linear scaling in performance when
additional adapters were added to the system. This demonstrates convincingly the
capabilities of the rx8640 server, HP-UX 11iv3 operating system and the AD385A adapter.
