Hi,
file transfers with scp or ftp are much slower from NT to FreeBSD than
the opposite direction.
System info:
Windows box: NT4, SP6a, Celeron 500, Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B
FreeBSD box: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE, generic kernel, Pentium 75,
3Com 905B-TX, IBM Etherjet ISA
The network cards are connected with a crossover cable.
Some examples, files were stored on a ramdisc:
Intel NIC <-> 3Com NIC
FreeBSD->NT: FTP >1 MB/s, scp 300 KB/s
NT->FreeBSD: FTP 38 KB/s, scp 30 KB/s
Intel NIC <-> IBM Etherjet
FreeBSD->NT: FTP 520 KB/s, scp 300 KB/s
NT->FreeBSD: FTP 250 KB/s, scp 130 KB/s
So scp transfers from the Intel to the 3Com are particularly bad.
The same systems reached 300 KB/s (using the same encryption, of
course, blowfish/MD5) when I transferred from NT to OpenBSD.

Any ideas how I can speed up things a little bit?
