ML370 G4 with poor Network Performance and high CPU Load

[rene at reckschwardt.de]

  Hello YongHyeon,

yes, booth Test-Servers are in idle State, no Disk activity and no 
important Networktraffic.

the pciconf -lcbv for the Nics:

em0 at pci0:7:1:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00db0e11 chip=0x10108086 rev=0x01

     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = 'Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) 
(82546EB)'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
     bar   [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xfdfe0000, size 131072,

if you need more Info please ask me ;-)

thanks for your responce ré
