Hi all,
I have never been able to get more than 500KB transfer rate between any
of my PC's, Is this normal ?
I have about 5 pc's running Linux 1.2.13 mostly P5's with >= 16meg Ram
and ISA 3ccom 3c509TP cards. The network traffic is very light and my
tests are done when no one is working. I have done transfers using ftp
and tcpspray but the results are simular.
Dropped packets is 0 and I look at this at a regular intervals. So the
network looks healthy. I understand that the theortical transfer rate is
10Mbits and pratical rate is less but again 500KB I find is slow.
Can someone tell me where the over head is ?? the ISA bus shouldn't be
and neither the card.
Thanks in advance
Emanuele.
