RE: FTP performance

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

He stated he is getting 177KB/Sec (177 * 1024 * 8 = 1449984 bits;
1,449,984/10000 = 144.9984%)  Something looks wrong to me.  But (177 * 1024
= 181248 bits; 181,248/10000 = 18.1248%) is still note great.  This formula
also does not take into account other traffic on the hub or overhead bits
added to each Ethernet frame.  (about 56 bits per frame?  Destination IP
address & port # are 6 bytes or 48 bits alone.)

I have seen that symptom before!

If 177KB means bytes per second, then you are currently using about 14
percent of the circuit capacity (177 * 8 = 1416; 1416/10000 = 0.14).  If you
can get to about 50 percent, I think you are doing fine.
