[comp.protocols.appletalk] ftp transfer rates?

kenton@space.mit.edu (Kenton C. Phillips) (06/19/89)

With NCSA Telnet on a Mac II we get typical FTP data rates of
2 to 3 Kbytes/sec when going through a KFPS-2 gateway.  When
using an Apple ethernet card, we get typical rates of 20 to 30 KB/s.

I would like to know if other people find these numbers to be typical.

With a Mac II I see values of 0.8 -10 Kbytes/s through a KFPS-4
gateway. Data transfer rates are indicative (IMHO) of the degree of
network traffic on the localtalk network.
