Hello,
I was curious if anyone's experimented with how fast node.js and socket.io 
are capable of sending out data.
I know there's benchmarks on number of connections and stuff like that but 
I'm talking for a single connection, maximum connection rate.
Suspecting this would be very dependent on server hardware.

I'm expirementing with creating a speedtest using Node.js through a 
websocket. Presently I'm able to achieve consitantly reach speeds of 
100Mbps with random spikes into ~120Mbps range using fs.createReadStream 
 on a text file and sending the data to a browser.

Has anyone else seen anything like this or know of something that perhaps 
would be faster?

Here's my server code.  I've tried messing with the bufferSize up / down 
but it really didnt have any affect.
I've also tried various browsers on a range of machines all with 
connections of 1Gbps.

var io = require('socket.io').listen(81);
var fs = require('fs');

var readStream = fs.createReadStream("output.txt", 
                                         {'flags': 'r',
                                          'encoding': 'binary', 
                                          'mode': 0666, 
                                          'bufferSize': 64 * 1024});
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
        readStream.on('data', function(data) {
                socket.send(data);
        });   
});
