Performance problems - bandwidth restrictedWhen using endian FW, my downstream performance was limited to ~300kb/sec, upstream ~15kb/sec. Netstat showed no suspicious connections, and the bandwidth chart did not show suspicious activity. I turned off all services spare DHCP, which had no effect on the problem. Naturally, I thought I was dealing with a cap. I found this not to be the case by plugging a (non-windows) client machine directly into my cable modem; I then got the expected 8mb/sec downstream, 900k/sec upstream.
Next I checked networking hardware, thinking my switch was the problem. I set up internet connection sharing on my PowerMac G5, as it was my only client machine with two NICs. I connected the second nic back to my switch, and plugged my wireless acces point (private, WPA2-PSK) into the same switch. Performance was still dandy throughout my house. What could be causing the performance problems? Netperf seemed like a good way to test the NICs in my endian machine, but it was not included in the distro, and I'm not quite sure how to use it. |

Re: Performance problems - bandwidth restrictedIf you are running 100 mb on your nic's, I would lock everything down to
half duplex, and see if that makes any difference. Howard Ed Noepel wrote: > When using endian FW, my downstream performance was limited to ~300kb/sec, > upstream ~15kb/sec.

Re: Performance problems - bandwidth restrictedI played musical network cards, moving my three PCI NICs to different slots. My onboard NIC would be hard to move, I left that alone. I also reconfigured which interfaces (red,green,blue,yellow) belonged to which card (swapping eth0 with eth1). After rebooting the machine, everything seems fine. ^o_O^
