Hello,
I've setup an L2 bridge on 2 ports from my BPI-R1, but I am only able to get 300Mbps throughput and was hoping for close to 1Gpbs. During my test I am seeing high CPU use from ksoftirqd (90%+), could this be due to the way I've configured it?
I am using Bananian Linux, here is my configuration:
swconfig
#!/bin/bash
ifconfig eth0 up
# The swconfig port number are:
# |2|1|0|4| |3|
# (looking at front of ports)
swconfig dev eth0 set reset 1
swconfig dev eth0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 101 set ports '3 8t'
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 201 set ports '4 8t'
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 202 set ports '0 8t'
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 203 set ports '1 8t'
swconfig dev eth0 vlan 204 set ports '2 8t'
swconfig dev eth0 set apply 1
