We tested it using 1 iperf server and use 250 and 500 clients, altering the burst. We use the top command to check the idle time of our router to see this. The results we got from the 2.4 kernel shows around 65-70% idle time while the 2.6 shows 60-65% idle time. We tried to use MRTG and we're not getting any results either. We want to know if we could improve the bandwidth by upgrading the kernel, else we would have to get a new bandwidth manager. Could anyone have the similar test regarding this. Thanks in advance.
