I am getting 45,579 KB/sec now (I just upgraded to Gigabit network), what are you getting ?
Before I was getting 11,603 KB/sec on 100 MBit network, so improvement is about 4x, copying 4.5 GB file takes 2 min 28 sec now vs 7 min 30 sec then. Looks good.
But I was wondering about my TTCP results - is it as good as it gets ? I am running Window XP on both computers, one is 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 with on-board Gigabit network adapter, another - 1 GHz Pentium III with PCI Gigabit network adapter. I was saturating my 100 Mbit connection at ~95% with TTCP, and Gigabit connection is only saturated at ~30-35%. I was kind of expecting to saturate Gigabit network to higher %, but CPU load on slower PC is about 65%, so it could be a bottleneck now (CPU load at faster PC is about 15%)
I was thinking if switching to CAT 6 would give any noticeable improvement (running CAT 5E now)
