Slow scp & wget transfer rate in Fedora Cora 64

joey52 · 12-25-2004, 02:38 AM

Thanks in advance for any help....

I have been installing fc 64 on a few servers. I noticed that the transfer rate between the servers, on the same network is extremely slow. Maybe 100 kbs if lucky. Wget is a joke....

I get 10 mbs between the other servers and 1 mbs from server to another server on another network..

Am I missing a rpm? What can I do about this?

Which NIC's? Enabled throttling? Post your ifconfig, one from a slow (identify which is which) and one from a fast (or normal).

Is there anything else you can tell us to help us troubleshoot this? What kind of hardware, what distro, how far, LAN or WAN...

Cool

joey52 · 12-25-2004, 03:12 AM

Tell me where the config is at and I will post it for you.

Dual amd's with a gigabyte card.

joey52 · 12-25-2004, 03:16 AM

Emailed it to you. I also paid for membership but i can't send pm's as of yet. Can you make a note on that one also.

Thanks

Cool, will certainly update Jeremy (the admin), thank's for the donation!

As for the email...

Wow! 10 NIC's in one box!

The "Gigabyte Card" is a bit too generic, if you can post:
/sbin/lspci
We can see what kind of card you actually have (or rather the chipset on the card).

You'll also want to see which modules are loading:
/sbin/lsmod

And your current kernel:
uname -r

You might also want to look at your log files, there could be a reason that traffic is creeping, maybe your firewall is extremely restrictive to the point of delaying traffic to 'sniff'.

I'll also move this to the networking forum, they'll certainly be able to troubleshoot this a lot better over there than in Newbie.

Cool

cat /sbin/lspci Yields this mess. By the looks of things, either I deleted some important stuff, ot I need to install something?

I posted in here because I really need to learn this system and I need to learn it fast and weel. And I am completely lost about this issue.

MasterC · 12-25-2004, 05:14 AM

You don't actually have to "cat" the /sbin/lspci, it will do that itself. If you are having problems grabbing the output to post up here and that's why you are catting it, execute:
/sbin/lspci | less

And scroll using the up/down arrow keys, same with:
/sbin/lsmod | less

You've got a kernel that isn't quite up to date, but should certainly suffice to have the modules that a newer one would, so I wouldn't really worry about that being part of your issue.

Cool

If you aren't actually using ipv6, try unloading that module to see if it makes a difference:
rmmod ipv6

That server setup is very similar to mine (mine is P4 rather than AMD, but the other devices are the same) and my interfaces run just fine...

Just so you know, tg3 is the module that is for your ethernet devices.

Cool

joey52 · 12-26-2004, 05:55 AM

OK ,

Thanks for your reply...

Let me know how to unload it, then how to reload it. this is something that i have never worked with before so i really do not want to make a mistake.

Thanks in advance.

FinalFantasy · 12-26-2004, 06:35 AM

Unload:
rmmod [module_name]

Reload:
modprobe [module_name]

joey52 · 12-26-2004, 06:59 AM

Thanks but I will wait for Master C to respond. Too many cooks spoil the soup and I am not going to start experienting at this stage. Thanks anyways.
