I have 2 systems running 4.9-STABLE. Both are on the same 100mbit switch and share a 6 mbit DSL line. Both machines share the bandwidth evenly. Cvsup is probably a bad indicator because speed largely depends on how busy the CVS servers are. I compared bandwidth by starting a large download on both systems and checking bandwidth use with Slurm from the ports area. I also started downloads one at a time on each individual machine and they each had no problem using the full 6mbit pipe.

The way I see these issues has come from having side-by-side boxes on the same 100M switch have wildly different bandwidth when talking to various remote sites. For instance, downloading ports, the newer box (post 4.8) regularly suffers under 1M bandwidth, while the 4.7 box merrily trots along at maximum speed. This seems somehow unrelated to the actual network hardware, as I have seen the same thing with fxp, de and rl cards. Has anyone explored network bandwidth issues in -stable recently? What can I do to work out these problems? Thanks. /Joe _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
