Certainly a troll in the header, but let me explain. We've been deploying ADSL... and our own office is well beyond the limit of what should work from our main pop. However, the equipment comes up with a minimal speed link... with one caveat... About 10% (or more) of the packets are corrupted or lost in transit over the link. At the far end of the link are a 4 FreeBSD boxes, a Solaris 2.5 box and a linux 2.2.something box. At the near end of the link, there are FreeBSD, Linux and Windoze boxes. Now the following table: FreeBSD <--> FreeBSD 10K/s FreeBSD <--> Linux 10K/s Solaris <--> Linux 30K/s Solaris <--> FreeBSD 20K/s Linux <--> FreeBSD 40K/s Linux <--> Linux 40K/s It would appear that linux boxes that are 2.0.x exhibit the same speed as FreeBSD --- it would appear that speed depends largely on the sender. I havn't done a packet dump yet... but why is Linux beating FreeBSD 4:1 and what can I do about it?
