|
|
My server-station is an amd xp1800, 512mb, kt333, udma6 on hda
I have an imac rev c client, g3 333, 192mb, os9.2
with a linksys 100 switch
i can flood ping the imac with 50k packets and get 8 to 15M bytes / sec
however when i mount an afsd share from my pc on the imac
it averages 10 - 20K bytes / s ... with surges up to 200K bytes
anyone else done any appleshare tuning:?:

Hi,
well I didn't really had some big tuning, but when using small files the performance gets really bad.
Maybe you make the same test with a big file. |

Actually, twas with a 150MB file ...
the entire time the throughput was at best 200k/s but usually worse
(mostly 0, then spiking occasionally...)
took an hour and a half or so

Do you have any collisions on the network ?
check via:
a) a flickering light on the switch
or
b) using: cat /proc/net/dev
If this is the case this looks a bit like a badly configured network card.
if not .... no collision ...
hmmmm ... tricky question.
Try with an X-Cable ?
(to check the switch works fine)
Simpler: try a transfer using FTP :)
the file you transferred right now |

i used fetch to ftp from my gentoo to the mac...
full bandwidth usage... (5+ MegaBytes / sec)
i used FTupperWare to ftp from my gentoo to the mac
and get minimal throughput (<150 KB / sec)
leads me to think its mostly a prollem in the software implmentation of the protocol ... with a dash of crappy protocolness in appletalk
will use fetch for massive transfers
and appleshare/netatalk mounted shares for small, convience accesses _________________ ALWAYS stay away from tanks enguled in fire.
