We have found mbuffer to be the fastest solution. Our rates for large transfers on 10GbE are: 280MB/s mbuffer 220MB/s rsh 180MB/s HPN-ssh unencrypted 60MB/s standard ssh The tradeoff mbuffer is a little more complicated to script; rsh is, well, you know; and hpn-ssh requires rebuilding ssh and (probably) maintaining a second copy of it. -- Trey Palmer ________________________________________In 10GbE env, even 280MB/s is not a so decent result. Maybe the alternative could be a two-step way. Putting snapshots via NFS/iSCSI and receiving them locally. But that is not perfect.
Even with infinite wire speed, you're bound by the ability of the source server to generate the snapshot stream and the ability of the destination server to write the snapshots to the media. Our little servers in-house using ZFS don't read/write that fast when pulling snapshot contents off the disks, since they're essentially random access on a server that's been creating/deleting snapshots for a long time. --eric -- Eric D.
