Just throwing this out there and see if anyone has any ideas. I have an old P75 with 2 PCI slots and 4 ISA slots. I've been using this as a Bering 1.2 router at a customer location. They asked me to add an additional NIC to it to support another office's internet connection. While I was at it, I upgraded them to Bering uclibc 2.2.2.
I tested this router after it was completed, and got extremely bad throughput (around 50kbs from a local FTP server that can easily deliver >10MBs (that should be megabytes) per second. I moved some things around, eliminated a 10MB hub, tried various nics (3c59x/tulip in the PCI, smc-ultra/wd in the ISA slots) and found the best throughput I could get was around 100kbs, and that was using all ISA cards! My theory is that their is some sort of hardware problem with this machine which is limiting this. The slots are all on a riser card, and perhaps that thing is bad. I'm going to install as is, and inform the customer that we need to replace the hardware. Anyone have any alternative ideas why this thing is so slow? - Bob Coffman ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tell us your software development plans!
