Hi folks,
could somebody give me some link about saturation (why, how,...) in ethernet & fastethernet networks...
I would like to know why it's possible to transmit over ethernet networks just cca 7Mb/s and over fastethernet cca 70 Mb/s...
What is the explanation of the phisics behind it?
thanks dan
It is possible, and common, to send much more than that. With current (last few years) common server hardware, it is no problem at all to push ca. 11 Megabyte per second down a fast ethernet link, under normal server operation of e.g. an ftp server.
Anything slower is either the result of an unfortunate window size, or a sign of how contemporary software can slow things down by animating window borders, or something.
best regards Patrick
Window size refers to TCP, not ethernet, or even IP. With ethernet, the frame is placed on the wire, with no flow control.
Patrick, thanks for info...
looks like that i have old switches and old software... :(
