We have a Windows server connected to a 6513 at 100/Full that does nightly
backups (about 20GB) to a Solaris server connected to the same switch via
gigabit ethernet. Prior to a recent upgrade the Windows server could upload
approximately 5MBytes/s to the Solaris server. The Solaris server was
replaced with much faster hardware and the OS was upgraded from Solaris 8 to
Solaris 9. Novell servers doing backups to this server have continued to
upload at about the same speed as before, while other Solaris servers seem
to be uploading faster than before.

The weird thing is that the Windows server uploads have dropped in speed by
about 80%! We now see only about 1MB/s. This drop was seen on all Windows
servers doing backups to this Solaris server. My guess is that there is some
funky issue with TCP between Windows and Solaris 9. I'm going to capture
some transfers to see if I can spot the problem.

Any ideas on what to look for right off the bat? Any tips from anyone who
has seen this sort of thing before?

Thanks,
John
