How fast should ftp go between a couple of machines running SCO Unix System V/386? I set up a couple of machines (one with a Western Digital WD8003E card and one with a new card whose driver I am supposed to be testing). I only got about 20 KBytes/second between the two machines when I ftp'ed /etc/termcap back and forth. This seems slow to me. Also, when the machine that has the WD8003E pings to itself, ping reports that it is taking 30 msec per ping. The other machine reports 10 msec per ping. Since pinging to onself does not involve the Ethernet driver, this seems to indicate that the second machine is a lot faster than the first. Pinging from the first to the second also takes 30 msec, which seems to me to indicate that the first machine is limited by the protocols above the Ethernet. Pinging from the second to the first takes 20 msec. Is it possible that the first machine is so slow that I can't ftp more than 20 KBytes/second? Or is there probably something wrong with the driver for the other card? What should I be able to get with ftp? How sensitive is it to machine speed (both raw CPU speed and memory access speed?)

I have no idea if this is good or bad but a 486/25 running SCO ODT 1.0 (SCO UNIX 3.2.1) with a WD 8013 16-bit Ethernet board transferred a file to a VAX 8800 at an average of 60K bytes/sec. The VAX was moderately loaded at the time (top indicated a load level of 5). -- Mike Squires (mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) 812 855 3974 (w) 812 333 6564 (h) mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu 546 N Park Ridge Rd., Bloomington, IN 47408 Under construction: mikes@sir-alan@cica.indiana.edu

With ISC and WD8003E card I get usual ftp rates from 150 kb/sec to 300kb/sec. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Petri Helenius, Fimeko-Data Oy Phone +358-0-487122 ----------------------------------!
