network performance tests
 

Hi,

I'd like to know the network performance of your setups! The tool(s) to use would be NetIO, which is a standard in the networked world. You start the tool on two computers in your home network and have them transfer data packets between each other. The results are printed in a few lines of text like this:

Please include the type of your system (Amiga, CPU, MHz), the networking card and the stack (plus any tweaks, if any) that you've used. In the case above, it would be:

1. System: A4000/CSPPC 68060RC60
2. card: X-Surf 1, driver version V1.4
3. stack: Genesis (taken from OS3.9) with AmiTCP_PacketFix (Aminet)
4. tweaks: TCP_SendSpace = 16384 and TCP_RecvSpace = 16384


What I am particularly interested in is the performance of PCI-Ethernet solutions such as Mediator, G-Rex and Prometheus, but also PCMCIA ethernet solutions on A1200 and A600.

You can find the Amiga-port of NetIO here:

And other versions for pretty much any OS can be downloaded here: http://www.ars.de/netio

thanks,
Jens

Edit: I've since crashed all of the drivers, and as such don't think it's that, but more likely the AmiTCP b3 - I have to put in Pro (v4) soon so will update when I get there.
