I'm planning to run openfiler in a gigabit environment. In my current setup, runing tests like iperf show me some serious bandwidth possibilities, however when it comes to day to day work I most always rely on ssh connections of all sorts (scp/sftp, rsync or samba over ssh tunnels etc)
default ssh seems to be tuned for low bandwidth networks (i.e. 16kb window size etc), however this particular patch really allows for some serious bandwidth transfers if your network allows it. http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ They say in that page that the patch is 'experimental' however known to work quite well. I'm wondering if its worthwhile for distros like openfiler to consider including this patch. After all I'm guessing a large percentage of your users will be running openfiler on good sized machines, fast networks and basically will demand good throughput. perhaps this patch could get into say an 'experimental' tree? Any thoughts? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
