RE: [leaf-user] Is my NIC the bottleneck?

Hi, 768Kb/s = 96KB/s or 93KB/s depending on what your ISP considers a Kilo. I have 1024 over 256 cable, I very VERY rarely see one connection hit more than 70. If I want a fast download, I use Getright and use 3 or 4 different sources. Does anyone else think that all this massive increase in

Your ISP's theoretical 768 Kilo bps compared to your NIC's theoretical 10 Mega bps. Me thinks your 10Mb NIC is not guilty. Do you run your DSL modem as a modem only, or does it do DHCP, DNS and firewall as well? Gus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 15-04-2004 00:10:31: pn] I'm still running

768 Kb/s= ~ 70 kB/sec. You have to taken into account the overhead in the packets which roughly is a factor 10 to translate Kb/s to kB/s. I have a cable connection which is much faster (here in Holland at least) than ADSL and regularly have download speeds of 120 - 150 kB/s. Joep On Thu,

You shouldn't be, because you were right that there's a bottleneck, you just missed what the bottleneck is. A 768k T-1 or Cablemodem line is going to give you around 90-95Kbytes/sec on a download, whereas your DSL is only turning out around 70Kbytes/sec. The reason for this is pretty

I have Bering-uClibc 2.1 setup in a 486/66 with 16MB. With two ISA (SMC 8216C) 10M cards I have a TESTED ~7M/s download speed from a company internal FTP server. With 100M connection I was able to download (without the FW in the middle) 20M/s. Both tests were done in a ethernet network without
