Just for grins I did a little speed testing comparing mTCP running in a VM to native FTP under Windows XP. Here are the results:
File size: 32MB Source: Linux 2.6.x running on a Pentium 233, local 100Mb/sec connection Windows XP command line FTP client: ~8950KB/sec LFTP running under Cygwin: ~8850KB/sec mTCP, VMWare 3.13, PCNet emulation, standard buffer sizes: ~3950KB/sec mTCP, VMWare 3.13, PCNet emulation, max buffer sizes: ~6826KB/sec So the maximum buffer size settings do improve performance quite a bit. I need to go back and test my older/slower machines to see if they see similar results. Performance characteristics have changed since I set those buffer sizes and some tweaking to the defaults might be appropriate. (All of this can be set from the configuration file today, so no new code is needed.)

It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
