Re: Why is the iSeries so slow (system details?)

[Neil Palmer <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

I know this thread has been beaten to death - I've been away from the list 
for a few weeks and am just catching up - but I don't recall seeing 
mentioned anywhere details of your system:
- What model/processor feature
- what Ethernet adapter
- what release of OS/400 and cumulative PTF level

I'm still curious why use of both Ethernet & TokenRing adapters together 
cause the slow performance on Ethernet.

Re: Why is the iSeries so slow







Sorry you missed my earlier post Jim....

Yes, the FTP problem on our iSeries seems to be resolved. As Marty had
mentioned, he too had throughput problems on an iSeries that contained 
both
an Ethernet and Token Ring adapter. His post caused me to disable the 
Token
Ring on our system and run exclusively on the Ethernet adapter. Once done
the FTP throughput was more reasonable. Not as fast as other platforms
deliver data but fast enough to make the process acceptable.

Unfortunately, this original post of mine did, in fact, result in an
isolated and unique situation. Thus not really able to help the general
iSeries community.

IMHO, it did however stir up emotions showing some of the same narrow
minded opinions of the midrange community.
