Re: Slow Connectivity via Gigabit

* Michael Heiming <michael+USENET@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

In comp.os.linux.networking dbv@xxxxxxxxxxx:
Recently I upgraded to gigabit, however the increase in speed I got was
far less than I thought. Copying a 20G tar file using scp transfers at
around 6.5 mb/sec, which while greater than the 4.5 mb/sec I used to
get using 100 mbps connection, is far less than the 15-20 mb/sec I
though I'd get. [...]

Playing with MTU size might not be that helpful if the switch
doesn't support them?

Should be fine, provided that its S/N is within the supported range:
