Hello
What measured speeds do people achieve over Gigabit Ethernet Switched LAN? Is it possible to achieve 1 gbps link between two Pentium-IV 3GHz with HT (1 GB RAM, 800 FSB, 80GB Hard Disk) desktop PCs having D-Link DGE-550T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter via Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
Thanks
I use ttcp to measure LAN speed:
$ ttcp -s -n40960 -t server2 ttcp-t: buflen=8192, nbuf=40960, align=16384/0, port=5001 tcp -> server2 ttcp-t: socket ttcp-t: connect ttcp-t: 335544320 bytes in 3.10 real seconds = 105641.58 KB/sec +++
This gives:
335544320*8/3.10/1.0e9*100% = 86.59 %Mogens
It depends on how you measure. A network performance test program will give you a certain speed. A disk-to-disk copy will give you another speed.
Based your hardware, i expect something like 20 to 50% of 1Gbit.
