If the messages consist of text, then compressing them should give you a big boost.
Bill Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ITA.AERO> cc: Sent by: Subject: MQ Channel Communication Overhead and Limited MQSeries List Bandwidth <[EMAIL PROTECTED] en.AC.AT> 09/08/2003 11:06 AM Please respond to MQSeries List I have a customer in Germany, who is displeased with the throughput he is getting with his client connection to my server in Atlanta. Please see the encrypt from an email I received from him below. Relating to our 32Bit-Frame-Relay-Connection between Germany and Atlanta, I've some more questions. 1. 240KB a minute is the theoretical limit of the bandwidth 2.1 with big messages (e.g. 2397 bytes) we reach following limits: 2.2 from Germany to Atlanta (MQPUT) 2.3 90 msgs per minute => 210 KB bandwidth 2.4 from Atlanta to Germany (MQGET) 2.5 82 msgs per minute => 191 KB bandwidth 3.1 with small messages (e.g. 288 bytes) we reach following limits: 3.2 from Germany to Atlanta (MQPUT) 3.3 160 msgs per minute => 45 KB bandwidth 3.4 from Atlanta to Germany (MQGET) 3.5 116 msgs per minute => 33 KB bandwidth Now, the customers assumption is that the problem is with the queue manager in Atlanta, I am not convinced he is correct. I know there is a communication over head for using an MQ channel. I believe it is just over 1500 K, but I can't find the exact number in the manuals. Does anyone happen to know what it is? The customer currently connects as a client, but they do run a full queue manager. I do believe building them a sender / receiver pair of channels might help some, but what they are asking is multiple channels. If bandwidth is the problem, more channel won't help much I'm sure.
