[netperf-talk] Which is the best hardware configuration for Netperf-Server?

[Frank Schuster]

Hello,

after I get Netperf successful running on a test system I want to install a large server with netserver (netperf 2.4.5) in my backbone.

But my question is what is the best hardware configuration expect of the network interface?
The network interface can up to more than 10 gbps.

Is netperf supporting multicore processors?
--> If yes, how can I configure netperf to use more than one processor?
--> If yes or no, how many MHz should be each core have?
How many RAM is prefered for long time running test and optionally more than one thread (I think so up to 10 threads from one or more clients)?
I think the hard disk is not so interesting or I'm wrong? I think netperf needs only space on the hard disk for swapping.

Is there any recommendation or experienced data?

Regards
Frank
