WIN/TCP 3.0
Has anyone received the latest update to Wollongong WIN/VX now titled
WIN/TCP version 3.0? I am interested in hearing how reliably it
works. I will post replies to the net.
Were there any problems/surprises during installation?
Are the bug fixes mentioned in the documentation truly that?
Is the performance on the system same, better or worse?
Are you more pleased with the new product than its predecessor?
Thanks in advance.

We've been running Wollongong's TCP/IP v3.0 for about 3 weeks now.
We haven't had any problems so far, there were no suprises during
the installation, etc. The previous version we were running
didn't have any problems either. I did some before-and-after
FTP thruput tests to see how well v3.0 performed; the results are
below.

The following numbers represent the thruput (in K bytes per second) of
Wollongong's TCP/IP for VMS using FTP to Hydra (a 4 mip Sun 3/280 w/1
Fujitsu Super Eagle disk) and Aries (a ~1 mip Microvax II running Ultrix
v1.2 w/1 (slow) RD53 disk).
The file transfered was 1,025,511 bytes. 'PUT' represents transfers from
VMSA to the target system's /dev/null. 'GET' represents transfers from the
target system to VMSA's NLA0:. The three columns show the difference
between Wollongong v2.3 and v3.0.
