My network is gigabit, the 2 PCs have gigabit cards although the Raspberry Pi is only 100Mbit.<br /><br />Test PC to PI PI to PC PC to PC2 PC2 to PC<br />1 6.07 3.67 21.02 19.11<br />2 6.08 3.66 21.56 19.12<br />3 10.14 6.54 31.31 23.77<br />4 10.21 6.51 31.41 21.37<br /><br />Tests 3 & 4 were run with 9K jumbo frames enabled on the two PCs. Curiously, this improves throughput to the Raspberry PI, even though I didn't think it supported jumbo frames and I didn't make any configuration changes to it.<br /><br />So, from the PC's point of view, writes to a network device are faster than reads.<br /><br />Need to try it frmo the Raspberry Pi end next I suppose.<br /><br />Ian<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-42170611834603369272015-01-26T23:48:09.697+00:002015-01-26T23:48:09.697+00:00Weird!

When you read from it, does the data go to /dev/null, or are you writing it somewhere?drsollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954188290191548178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-57401256835104280252015-01-26T15:30:36.376+00:002015-01-26T15:30:36.376+00:00When I set up a Raspberry Pi as a samba NAS, I fou...When I set up a Raspberry Pi as a samba NAS, I found that reads went at around 8 megabytes/sec but writes to it across network were around 10 megabytes/sec (As reported by Windows 7).<br /><br />Curious, as it goes against the tradition of reads being faster than writes. No idea why, but its consistent.<br /><br />IanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
