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

[danbeaver]

It means one should try a variarity of situations to test. Even the Monty carlo method comes to mind.

And your validity comes from where?  A guess? A feeling?  

You can't account for the hundreds of variables that affect performance that way.

I ran some tests with tcpspeed as my x-surf100 is up and running in z3 mode.

Genesis 849 kb/s
RoadShow 685 kb/s
Miami 422 kb/s

Roadshow is configured with the suggestions earlier in the thread. (Which made a little speedup) I was hoping for higher transfer rates though as i see the results of other users.. However, i have some limitations in my system:

Im using an a4k/a3660/50mhz which is practically running on zIII memory (FastlaneZ3) as my 8mb on the mb is eaten up by the os.
Will the zIII mem performance affect the transfer rates this much?

I knew genesis could be faster than roadshow, but not that much.. and Miami?! come on!!

Cheers!

Nice tests!  Miami's always been a dog, but what it lacks in speed it makes up for with a nice GUI, unlike Roadshow.  Too bad Holger K. had to be such a (%*#&%*%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!$% and abandon it.

I could get more than 900 KByte/s out of Roadshow on an original "Ariadne" card (Zorro II, 10 MBit/s Ethernet, no full-duplex support), on my A3000UX with a 50 MHz 68060 CPU.

I would expect the XSurf-100 to do much better by comparison.

Agree! I will see what I can get on mine when I get home this weekend. I wass using a PCI 8139 with my mediator before the x-surf 100 came out. I replaced it and the x-surf was noticeably faster stock using roadshow over the PCI card.

I havent even tried any of these settings changes yet, looking forward to testing this all out.

Don't think I've ever felt the need for a Roadshow GUI. But we're all different

I'm not.

10Mb/s is roughly 1MB/s, so 900k BYTES per second is really not bad.
