X-Surf 100 - Best TCP/IP for Speed?

[mechy]

This just tells me that AmigaOS need a new network driver infrastructure..

Miami has always been known to be slow. It was my understanding that the key checking and such holger had in the code really slowed it down also.
roadshow on the same hardware is usually good for quite a speed increase.

Maybe it is time for SANAIII  olaf?

This about matches the performance figures reported by Jens Schönfeld an others. Good

I hope you can finally stop worrying about the hardware being defective, or your network settings to be the source of trouble. Your "X-Surf 100" seems to be working exactly as it should do.



Glad to hear that all the hard work I put into making Roadshow does make a difference



2.2 MBytes/s is at the top end of the scale, for a "real" Amiga with 68060 CPU. I would expect that if you could make the 68060 go faster (hypothetically speaking!), then the throughput would increase further.

It sounds as if we need a ethernet card with onboard cpu with large buffers to take the load off the 68060-i guess it would dma or take advantage of fast scsi when saving.
I have been following this thread and it has been interesting. i have not gotten a new x-surf card yet,but probably will soon.

Nice work on that Matt. It seems you stumbled on the ideal settings. Have you tried amitrade center for ftp. I dont know if its any better/faster than amftp or amiftp etc.

i was wondering are you using the MKIII scsi on your system? good scsi over ide would probabaly make a difference in speeds you see. assuming you are testing transfers to drives and not to ram.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day:).

Yes, using the SCSI to Acards SCSI to SATA converter and a SATA SSD.

I will try Amitrade, I think I had trouble with it though....  Will let you know.

As a quick update, if I copy huge files from my network it will still lock up occasionally on big files only.  This isn't frequent, and I not sure if is roadshow or some other program like executive or smbfs.

Will keep you posted.

If you have trouble with amitrade center its usually a missing or wrong mui lib.(or so memory thinks so check the docs if this is the case.

i was working with rc-ftpd with someone who had problems with large files also,it ended up being something in the unofficial boing bags 3&4 causing it, dropping back to original BB1/2 solved it, never did figure out what it was. Not sure if this applies to you or not. It could also be something with the filesystem you are using also.
