Guys,

This is all very interesting reading and one of the topics mentioned something about "Solaris performance on x86 is bad". They probably haven't looked at Solaris Express recently which ships as Solaris 10. The performance on x86, specially Opterons based machines really rocks. More details are available on my blog http://blogs.sun.com/sunay . I will try to keep it updated with more information about Solaris 10 networking in general so come back often.

Regards
