Hello,
to check the performance I just startet several network tests via openmeetings.
What's weird: the network-test via openmeetings4 shows significally better
download-rates (20 Mb/sec) than openmeetings 5 (4 Mb/sec).
Those values seem to be low altogether, because I am doing these tests in a
gigabit-network.
* Both openmeetings-servers are virtual machines (VMware, VM-Version 11) with 8
CPU-cores and 8 GB RAM and VMXNET3-LAN-Cards.
* Both are connected to gigabit-switches.
* Openmeetings 4 runs on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, openmeetings 5 runs on Ubuntu
20.04.1 LTS.
* Clients are configured to open the website directly (not using proxy).
* I entered some commands to display the ubuntu-network-adapter-details and the
results are pasted below. Both servers show "Speed: 10000Mb/s" and "Duplex:
Full". The openmeetings5-server additionally shows some docker-network-details,
I'm not familiar with.
I guess this is a linux-question, not an openmeetings-question, but maybe
someone in here experienced similar behaviour and found ways to increase the
performance.
- why are the upload-rates way better than the download-rates?
- why are these values so low (in a gigabit-environment)?
