I get pathetic speeds when uploading from my sun machine. The downloads are fine and work at full speeds. Below is a netio benchmark, which shows there is some problem surely. Filesystem ext3 and kernel 2.6.17. The ethernet card is
Code:
Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Happy Meal (rev 01)
.

netio from a remote machine to sun machine. The remote machine performs just fine:
Code:
netio -t sunmachine

NETIO - Network Throughput Benchmark, Version 1.26
(C) 1997-2005 Kai Uwe Rommel

TCP connection established.
Packet size  1k bytes:  7698 KByte/s Tx,  1039 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size  2k bytes:  9959 KByte/s Tx,  664 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size  4k bytes:  10062 KByte/s Tx,  103 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size  8k bytes:  11282 KByte/s Tx,  64535 Byte/s Rx.
Packet size 16k bytes:  10569 KByte/s Tx,  158 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 32k bytes:  9944 KByte/s Tx,  165 KByte/s Rx.
Done.


at the same time, the udp transfers work fine !
Code:
netio -u 10.102.28.10

I had a similar issue on my Sun box running Solaris, turned out that a patch revision had installed some drivers that were just killing the card, for every packet sent and recieved, 4 would come in with a wrong checksum and be discarded.
Perhaps it's related? I had the same card. Try rolling back the driver. especially if you have recently upgraded your kernel.

that's interesting. But then, should UDP protocol work all right?
