Make sure you're either fully configured for IPV6 or disable it. I've had
lots of performance problems with newer machines and IBMi versions. 6.1 and
7.1 have IPV6 enabled by default. If you aren't fully configured for IPV6
(ie an IPV6 DNS server on the machine) the IP stack spends an inordinate
amount of time trying to find the other machine. It seems that time is
spent on EVERY packet. Most of my experience is with Java applications
which always favor IPV6 unless explicitly configured to prefer IPV4. I
don't have much experience with the FTP client and server on IBMi, so this
may not actually be a factor. But it's something to check.

Subject: Gb Ethernet
Shouldn't I be getting a lot better throughput?
Help me out with my math. I've got an Ethernet line on 1 lpar talking to
an Ethernet line on another lpar. They both say:
Current line speed . . . . . . . . : 1G
Current duplex . . . . . . . . . . : *FULL
Target system:
Resource Type
CMB03 268C
LIN04 6B26
Source system:
CMB30 181C
LIN06 181C
CMN242 181C
They are both on our same 10.17.6 subnet.
I FTP'd a sizeable file and got these results:
Size, in bytes, of save file: 13,458,505,728
Seconds to perform transmission: 2,222
Bytes/sec: 6,056,933.271
bits/byte: 8
bits/second: 48,455,466.167
Gb/bits: 0.000000001
Gb/sec: 0.048455466
iNav's Management central says lan utilization was minimal.
iNav's says percent busy of disk was minimal. (currently 2-7%) Source
system has 64 disk arms.
Target system is a guest on the source. It has 6 equal "arms".
Shouldn't I be getting a lot better throughput? After all, 0.05 is not
1Gb.
I am not interested in any virtual ethernet backplane type solution due to
some H/A concerns.
