I am trying to get a handle on modern ethernet performance (ok, so so are
a couple of hundred other people...).
FTP binary mode was always one useful measure, and so I am after some numbers.
I would appreciate any results of the following command (or equivalent on your
system):
ftp> binary
200 type set to I
ftp> get /vmunix /dev/null #(you V guys and gals can use /unix)
?????? bytes received in ?.? seconds (????? Kbytes/s)
I am most interested in commercial UNIX boxes running classical user-mode
FTP servers. I need to know the hw/sw configuration of both ends of
the transaction. What I am really after is the fastest implementation out
there. I will post the results if I get enough to notice.
Just to get the ball rolling:
70 Kbytes/Sec. About what an 11/780 running 4.2 would do
100 Kbytes/Sec. Pretty good 680?0 UNIX box
??? Kbytes/Sec. Pretty good modern UNIX box
1000 Kbytes/Sec. Max practical Ethernet throughput
1250 Kbytes/Sec. Max theoretical Ethernet throughput
Thanks,
