Well, I've learned a little bit more, but there is still a puzzle. As it turns out, the issue of ttcp speed on Solaris was not related to whether it was doing a read/write vs just doing writes on internally generated data. The internally generated data was ascii, while the external data I was using was a compressed binary. When I send a file with the same ascii data externally, I get the same speed as when it is generated internally.
So I assume Clearwire is employing some data compression on the link to the receiving node. This would explain it entirely, except for one thing. Linux gets about the same fast speed on both the text data, and the binary data. Specifically: Solaris: Text 972KB/sec, Binary 147K/sec Linux: Text 1563KB/sec. Binary 1373K/sec So the mystery is why the Binary speed is so degraded sending from Solaris. The Linux machine sits next to the Solaris machine on the same LAN. All the transfers were to the Clearwire node within a few minutes of each other. The new snoops are in the same directory mentioned above. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
