I've been working for some time on trying to get a faster TCP running on our Alliant FX/8. Previously I'd benchmarked the machine at 100-120KB/sec transfer rates using the Multibus Excelan ethernet board. I've now gotten 160-180KB/sec, using the header prediction code from the 4.3 BSD Reno networking code. Still not blazing fast, but significantly better than before. This code is running on FX/8 & Concentrix 5.6. I plan to try it on FX/800 running Concentrix 2.1 as well. Also, I have not yet tried it with the new CMC ethernet boards, but will do so fairly soon. Apparently we need to upgrade the FX/8 to Concentrix 5.7 before we can use the new ethernet board there, though. Um, out of curiosity, how many folks out there already have the new CMC ethernet boards on their FX/8[0]s? -- -- Howard Chu @ Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA Disclaimer: How would I know, I just got here!
