If I remember well in the deployment guide it exists a table where it explains how you can calculate your LAN throughput:
It says that you should consider from 40% to 80% of efficiency of your lan adaptor... of course you will have to search where are the bottlenecks of your LAN... take look of the deployment guide it explains many things about performance... hope it helps, Ibán Bernaldo de Quirós Márquez Technical Specialist cell: + 34 659 01 91 12 Sun Microsystems Iberia -----Mensaje original----- De: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager en nombre de Christian Svensson Enviado el: mar 14/11/2006 22:01 Para: [email protected] Asunto: [ADSM-L] SV: How to calculate the thoughput on the network Hi Murugan, That is really hard to found out exactly speed and how long time it will take. Take the speed you got ex. 100 MBit and divide it with 8 then do you got maximum speed of your bandwidth. (12,5 MB/s) If you run Windows you should probably split it with 2 then you maybe got maximum speed from Windows. If you run compression then will you maybe get some better performance. But again it's hard to really find out exact speed and time you will get. Also the performance is also depending on if you backup to disk or tapepool, activity on the WAN link, also how old your server is and et c. Got this questions many times when I talk about CBMR for customers. Make a test on 1GB data and then see how long time that will take.

And they want to know the throughput on the network The data on the node = 20GB Could any of you tell how to calculate the throughput on the network ?
