At 28800, we should be able to achieve 3600 bytes/s Xfers seem to jump to ~5800 bytes/sec when starting news (text) A higher DTE _might_ help, but probally not as we're not hitting 7000+. ftp text: 390491 bytes sent in 90.97 seconds (4.19 Kbytes/s) 4.19 * 1024 = ~4290 bytes/s ftp binary: 103705 bytes sent in 40.32 seconds (2.51 Kbytes/s) 2.51 * 1025 = ~2570 bytes/s The xfers seem to run really fast (2000 - 3000 bytes/s) and then drop to nothing for a second. This may be a quench from somewhere... something to debug. Does anyone have reading about what CSLIP vs SLIP actually saves you? I may change over to SLIP to do some more testing. These numbers were all obtained by hacking netstat to produce the struct ifnet if_ibytes and if_obytes members. -- The Wailer at the Gates of Dawn | banshee@resort.com | Just who ARE you calling a FROOFROO Head? | | DoD#0667 "Just a friend of the beast." | banshee@cats.UCSC.EDU | 2,3,5,7,13,17,19,31,61,89,107,127,521,607....| |
