Bandwidth loss

2005-05-13 Thread N. Raghavendra
We are running an OpenBSD 3.4 host, which is connected to a 1 Mbps,
(=128 KBps) link to the Internet through a manageable switch.
However, during tests, we are getting only about 30 to 45 KBps at the
OpenBSD machine.  There were no other hosts on the link when these
tests were performed.

Under identical circumstances, a Linux machine gave about 100 to 125
KBps transfer rates.

We are keen to use OpenBSD on the machines in that network.  Can
someone indicate a way to resolve these bandwidth issues?

Thanks,
Raghavendra.

The connection not shared.

I will upgrade the OS as suggested by Stuart, and will get back to the
list.

I will upgrade to OpenBSD 3.6, and will get back to the list with full
details if the problem persists.

Thank you.
