You might need to explain the reason for your request since, it may change the answer. As an example, my computer has a GigE port that runs to a 100Mbit simple switch before getting to anything else. So I would be limited to a theoretical maximum of 100Mbit but I might want to know how fast I can transfer files to/from another computer in my LAN. The bottleneck here could be the switch, my NIC, the other computers NIC, OS limits, firewall slowdowns etc. So, for me I would really want to test an actual file transfer using a number of setups. Depending on each computer I could try Samba, FTP, SCP. I might run a wire to bypass the switch. I might try with firewalls and antivirus disabled. All this will also give me some clue on how fast I could run if I was able to get a fiber connection, to let me know if my system would be a serious limit to getting the full 1G of true fiber. Obviously the switch would have to be upgraded in my case. -- Doug H. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
