I believe many developers are interested in the difference in network performance between Windows Server and Linux. The Phoronix website recently tested some Netperf network performance metrics on Windows Server 2016 and Linux distributions. Let’s see what happens. The test machine configuration was: AMD EPYC 7551 + GIGABYTE MZ31-AR0 + 8 x 4GB DDR4-2666 + Samsung 960 EVO. The following is the system and detailed configuration of the tested machine.
The Netperf server instances running on the system are connected via Gigabit Ethernet and configured as Xeon E5-1680 v3 + ASUS X99-A + 4 x 4GB DDR4-2400 + 60GB Patriot Torch, using Ubuntu 17.04 and Linux 4.16 Git kernel.
Linux dominates the Netperf TCP test, but Manjaro 17.1.6 runs slower than Windows, and Intel’s Clear Linux runs fastest.
However, in the UDP test, Manjaro slightly ahead of Windows Server 2016.
The test data is temporarily over. The Phoronix website will conduct more tests next time, and it will conduct a larger and more formal network performance comparison of Windows/BSD/Linux. Please visit this site frequently to get more info.
