Re: [slim] Re: Network Activity
I am basing my observations on the fact that the network lights on my hubs and server are always blinking like mad IMHO not the most precise of benchmarks :-) an I can see a marked difference in the speed of my network if I unplug all of my Squeezeboxes. It seems to have gotten much worse since I went from two Squeezeboxes to four Squeezeboxes. This is strange. I'm using five boxes, four of them wirelessly at 54Mb - and do surf, print and everything on the same network. You're talking about 1000Mb, 20x my bandwith with less players. There must something be wrong. The server I am running, runs on linux and if I check dmesg there will be hundreds of lines of server contacting each of the various Squeezeboxes in just a few seconds. dmesg is about boot messages, isn't it? I can't see anything slimserver related in there. Could you do some actual measures? Please try netio or something to give some numbers. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Wrong order of magnitude :) WAV is 1400 Kb/s, 176 KB/s. - Jacob ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I can't see anything slimserver related in there. I think that dmesg is used for more than just boot messages; it is general kernel output. I used it a lot trying to get a myth box up, and it includes lots of module output during normal runtime operations. In fact, there's a wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmesg Cheers Geoff ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The server I am running, runs on linux and if I check dmesg there will be hundreds of lines of server contacting each of the various Squeezeboxes in just a few seconds. It also was much worse when I had them all synced. I could hardly use my network at all with four of them synced. I am not using the clock or any screensaver and my network is a 1000BaseT. I'm not a linux expert, but I'm sure there must be a ton of tools out there that show you real-time throughput. As pointed out by others, the actual data transfer requirements *should* be way under your network maximums, so if you can measure the throughput as you connect / disconnect squeezeboxes, you can figure out if anything strange is going on. Then you can use something like Ethereal to pull it all apart, or at least to post a log of traffic from one SB for others to look at.
