In-Reply-To: <199412221633.AA274954020@yarmouth.fsl.noaa.gov> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm interested in knowing what other people are getting for ping times using 64k ICMP packets between slip client/server machines. Mine are as follows: PPP 230ms SLIP 198ms This seems awfully slow between two DX2/66 machines with 14.4 modems. Everything I can find to read never seems to touch on the speed aspect of either of these two protocols, so these times may be perfectly normal, but I don't believe so. Quick (very poor) math shows that this isn't even 5,000 bps. Something seems strange here. Anyway, if anyone would like to share their ping times with me and then, perhaps point out what they did to their modems/sliplog/slattach to get imporved throughput I'd be a very happy somethingorother.
