rsync is slow
Hi,
I created two virtual machines on Xen and connected them through linux bridge, using brctl. I am trying to do rsync, file size: 188M between vms and this is slow of the interface and bridge mtu is 4096 bytes. If I reduce the mtu to 1500, rsync for the same file happens in 5 mins. Why is a decrease in mtu increasing the transfer speed? Thanks, --D |
Short answer: smaller packets will be transmitted faster, simply because of the throughput limitation of the line.
Here are the ins and outs: MTU, what difference does it make? |
