Recently we've been conducting throughput tests on various protocols. The
results of the protocols can be viewed at:
http://network.ucomm.wayne.edu/benchmark/
So... I guess the real question is this: is it possible for a single SMB file
transfer to go faster than 20 Mbps? Is 20 Mbps as good as it gets?
We had done tests with 9x/NT4/2K and achieved similar results when TCP/IP is
used as the transport. I've include the relevant [global] of my smb.conf
files for both systems. I've also tried tweaking the SOCKET OPTIONS, but the
largest increase I had seen was ~1.5 Mbps. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks much,
Nate
