wow there is so much wrong with this test,
First I find it hard to believe that you got up to 90% efficiency on a
transfer at all, network over head should have knocked down your transfer
more than that.
first are these the same machine
what other machines are on the network
how many times did you run each test (25 to 50 times is the standard where I
work, but we use automated tools to run and keep track)
what are you reading these speeds from?
if they are different machines, then when it comes to networks the protocol
is the last part to look at
and last none of the speeds listed are slow, for a small 20 meg file
3.75MBytes a second is not bad and may have more to do with Linux
keeping a
single packet size, while windows tries to adjust packet size for short
transfers.

Hi,
is MONO network streaming slow?
First I built a very simple client/server program
to get a data stream over network.
In both programs I used a TcpClient,
a NetworkStream and a byte array (8kB chunks)
to stream 20 MB of data.
Then I tested the transfer rate of the client/server
program between different Linux/MONO (1.2.3.1)
and different Windows/.NET (2.0) hosts
in a 100 Mbit/s ethernet.
The strange result: If MONO was involved
the speed was dramatically reduced.
Only a .NET/.NET transfer showed a realistic
rate.
.NET --> MONO : 31...42 Mbit/s LOW
MONO --> MONO : 43...45 Mbit/s LOW
MONO --> .NET : 51...76 Mbit/s LOW
.NET --> .NET : 94 Mbit/s O.K.
What's wrong here?
Any suggestions or hints?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Andreas
