I then tried some more ftps and was getting between 3000 and 5000 kb/sec. Both ways. So it looks like DG was right about the duplex and media settings. Thanks to everyone who helped me figure this out. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Mike Tancsa [mailto:mike@sentex.net] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 1999 9:37 PM To: Christopher Michaels Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Odd network performance via fxp0 On 8 Apr 1999 16:33:32 -0400, in sentex.lists.freebsd.questions you wrote: >Noted and understood, I don't believe that I ever expected to literally see >From one 3.x machine ftp> mget post* mget postgresql-6.4.2.tar.gz? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'postgresql-6.4.2.tar.gz' (5388845 bytes). 100% |*************************************************************************** ***************************| 5262 KB 00:00 ETA 226 Transfer complete. 5388845 bytes received in 4.53 seconds (1.13 MB/s) 10Mb/s Full Duplex ftp> mput post* mput postgresql-6.4.2.tar.gz? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'postgresql-6.4.2.tar.gz'. 100% |*************************************************************************** ***************************| 5262 KB 00:00 ETA 226 Transfer complete. 5388845 bytes sent in 4.54 seconds (1.13 MB/s) fxp0s on a Catalyst 1900. However......... On an Addtron non managed switch, I dont see anywhere near the same consistent results... Same thing with an SMC Tiger Switch, but not as bad with the Addtron. Its even worse if the network encounters any errors due to a bad cable with the Addtron. Try a cross over cable between the two units. Also, make sure that the duplex setting on both machines agree. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
