samba - Oct 2016 - android tuning

Hi all :-)

happens that: on 10/100 network wireless clients runs 9/10Mb/s transfer 
speed (from/to samba 4 file server).

While android clients (3 samsung S6 and 2 samsung S7) runs not over 
3/Mb/s... :-/

Only tuning I've is:

socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=262144 
SO_RCVBUF=262144

but no differences if I remove that line

android clients runs 9/10Mb/s using FTP (connected to same server)

any idea please?

thanks for help!

What android clients are these ? (i.e. what applications are
you running). Android doesn't ship with a native libsmbclient
so they are either using jCIFS, libsmbclient or a third party
smb client.

As you're getting good speeds from your other (desktop?)
clients then I'm inclined to look into the client lib used
by the apps on android.
