Hi all! I recently upgraded my LAN to gigabit, but so far it's been a disappointment. It really isn't much faster than it used to be...
If I fetch a large file from my proftpd server I get about 11 MB/s, and the same file from apache about 15 MB/s. I was hoping for at least twice that. The server is a P3-733 and the workstation is a XP1600+, and they are directly connected with a shielded CAT6 cable and two Intel PRO/1000MT NIC's. I use the 4.4.19 driver from Intel. The cpu load is about 75-80% on the server when I fetch the files and I get pretty much the same results with and without jumbo frames. Is this all I can expect to get? Isn't 75-80% cpu load a bit much? I would really appreciate some input from you all. I strongly suspect I swallowed the gigabit hype hook line and sinker... /P�r. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
