Hi Herbert What NIC cards are you using?  I haven't used Endian on a connection as fast as you have but I have noticed a difference between cheap nics and the more expensive server grade ones.  Also I am pretty sure using anti virus scanning is going to affect the throughput. What is your CPU

Hello Davo, we used different methods: 1. www.speedtest.net 2. http://www.initiative-netzqualitaet.de 3. Download of a file (e. g. http://www.ibc-blog.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IBC-SOLAR_Jura-Solarpark.jpg) 7MB took 8-9s greetings Herbert Am 20.03.2013 um 09:13 schrieb

Hello Herbert If possible I would first try, only for testing purposes, to switch off the proxy functionality. Futher I would try to make measurements by placing a computer in the Red subnet and by transferring large data to/from by simple protocol to an other computer in the green subnet.

Hi, the NICs are 3COM and Realtec 10/100MBit/s CPUload is about 80% I share your opinion but we can´t switch off all services to have max truput :-( then Endian is useless! thanks a lot Herbert Am 20.03.2013 um 09:35 schrieb kevsworld: Hi Herbert What NIC cards are you using? I haven't

Can you please go to status and then connection and tell me what is the maximum TTL you see on connections? Is it 119:00 ..something? ? Farzan Qureshi -- Rosmini College Network Administrator Helpdesk support On 20/03/2013 7:58 PM, Herbert Appel postmas...@nx-networx.de wrote:

the NICs are 3COM and Realtec 10/100MBit/s CPUload is about 80% 100baseT = 100 Mbps = 12.5 MBps EFW depends on the speed of the host cpu and on the network cards. Because of overhead and the limits of older computer buses and cpus, I don't believe you will get much more than 7MBit/s using

As stated CPU / RAM are your primary concern here. If your CPU usage is high, your throughput will be limited as such. One other consideration for ClamAV is disk speed. The file is downloaded to your EFW disk, scanned by clamav, then passed through to your client. If the disk is slow, that can

This is good info here, but something to watch out for: SKIPMIME image/* video/* audio/* The above line will PREVENT all images, videos and audio from being scanned for viruses. There are obvious security implications with that, and you should evaluate your security requirements before
