I'm not even sure this is the right forum but since we use mainly Cisco
equipment I'll give this a shot. :)
I have tried several centos based servers and compiled various kernels
and the results have been extremely weird.
90% of the cases the remote hosts can download from a server at
1-5megabytes per second, and most of these are over
the internet ranging from 30-200ms away. Local (1ms or less) is super
fast 100MB/s for example.
Ok that sounds normal since it's going over the internet, etc. But
here's the )(!...@*! part..
If I set the port speed to 100 megabits full duplex on the switch and
server , the clients that get 1-5MB/s now get 11MB/s which is
approximately the limit of the 100mbit port.
Totally stumped here, tried different nics, servers, even 4 different
switches. Is a very interesting problem and I'm probing to see
if anyone else has encountered it.
So far the only OS i have tried is centos, but different versions and
kernels and hardware.
All the switches/routers are Cisco based, but I seriously doubt that has
anything to do with this. :P
