Well, I usually try rcp or cp/tar over nfs. Because what I'm interested in is how my systems are going to behave in practice. Certainly with Solaris 10, if I can't saturate a gigabit then I end up either (a) blaming the disk system, or (b) complaining that the network is overloaded. Looking at the numbers in that article, they all seem on the low side to me. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
