Reprint of a personal reply I made to Greg Lehey on the same question: Firstly, I should have said "averaged during the day around 6.5MB/sec". The traffic levels at night were somewhat lower - about 4.5MB/sec. Second, the "417GB" figure is the total bytes for files that were successfully transfered. It does not include TCP/IP packet overhead, packet retransmits, data that is not part of the files, or incomplete/aborted file transfers. This all adds up to 20% or more of overhead. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
