Howdy,
Sorry to bring what seems like a simple issue up here. I had been blaming slow afp filesharing between my OS-X (10.3.8 and previous) and FreeBSD 4.x boxes on netatalk's afp implementation for some time. Not too long ago I got frustrated with this and tried smb and then ftp. On a simple 10/100 network, and even with just a crossover between two boxes it seems that any tcp transfer tops out at around 250KB/s.
On the same network using the same switch I can get near line-rate to an OpenBSD box and to another OS-X box.
If I use nfs and force udp as the transport, I *do* get near line-rate between OS-X and FBSD.
My 5.3 box is tanked at the moment, so I cannot tell if the problem happens there as well. I do have a full ADC account, so I will be testing with the latest Tiger preview shortly, and the ADC access does give me a decent bug reporting facility if the fault lies within the OS-X tcp stack.
I'm no tcpdump wizard, would anyone care to help me track this down?
Thanks,
