I've got a 100Mbps LAN with ethernet cards that should be capable of using it, yet the highest transfer rates I seem to be able to get out of my FreeBSD box are 260KB/s receiving and 341KB/s sending with around 200KB/s being more normal. I realize that there are hundreds of factors that could be influencing this, but I came across this recent article that made me wonder if this is some kind of hardcoded limit: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-jan-2004-feb-2004.html#Automatic-sizing-of-TCP-send-buffers Is this article saying that my network speed is limited by a small static TCP buffer size? If so, is there some way that I can increase that buffer size to improve performance? The primary function of this machine is to move large amounts of data across my network, so I'm willing to experiment with increasing the buffer size if it's not too difficult.Received on Tue Jun 01 2004 - 13:38:26 UTC
