Hi, If its only IP address, use RARP mechanism to get the IP address (this requires a rarp server to be in place in the same network). RARP server can be enabled in the Linux server. If RARP fails(after some timeout), then go ahead to use Bootp to get the IP address. Regards M.Ravichandran

Average Ethernet packet length

2000-05-25 Thread Timothy Behne
Hi, A recent thread suggested something interesting - an average Ethernet/IP packet length of 500 bytes. Has there been any work done in the area of finding average packet lengths, bandwidth usage, etc. of typical (read: unknown) networks? Are there any "rules of thumb" values that are

Storage over Ethernet/IP

2000-05-25 Thread Jon William Toigo
I am seeking a few points of clarification: 1. Fibre Channel folks have attempted to explain to me why TCP/IP could NEVER be a viable interconnect for block level storage operations. They claim: a. TCP is too CPU intensive and creates too much latency for storage I/O operations. b. The

Wimba uses ports 4382 and 5644

The asynchronous audio conferencing applet at www.wimba.com uses TCP ports 4382 and 5644. Sites wishing to explore Wimba will need to allow access for TCP transmissions on those ports. Those concerned regarding security issues should note that the signed applet has been ranked in the top 1%

Thanks for the feedback, Mssrs. Fisk and Nagle, I think a problem for IT folks who are hearing early statements about SANs based on GE has to do with an issue to which you both alluded. Specifically, what parameters -- bandwidth, throughput, latency, etc. -- must designers consider when

Title: RE: Average Ethernet packet length I saw an article a while back that showed spikes at 64 bytes (TCP handshake, increased with web growth), 590 bytes (576 byte min mtu), and 1518 bytes (Ethernet max). This was a few years old. I don't know if it listed an average. I'll try to dig it
