lan speed to low for Gbit connection
Recently I established a share connection between an ubuntu 10.04 server and a windows 7 workstation.
The shared folder is on the win computer, and most traffic goes from server to workstation. Both computers have Gbit nics and both have a lan connection to a Gbit router. The speed of file transfers is disappointing, just 110Mbit. My internet connection has 120Mbit bandwidth and very often I reach 150Mbit. I have tested my share connection with Iperf: Code:
root@server:~# iperf -c 192.168.1.9 -w 2m The share connection uses samba cifs. I am awfully inexperienced with network connections. |
Hi,
samba/cifs by itself is somewhat slow, also using a raw transfer tool will be faster than a filesystem based share software, because raw data transfer has not to do filesystem operations like setting up fs-information and metadata. Also small file operations are slower than transfering large files. 900Mbit/s is not a real value, because Gigabit network is not real 1000MBit, it is from my experience around 300MBit, so i think both values are somewhat wrong. |
