Gigabit Throughput on a windows 2003


Recommended Posts

Guest Sabo, Eric

We are connecting to a 1 GB ports, the highest throughput I am seeing using

a 32 K TCP Windows Size (32,768) using Iperf to test is about 530 MBytes per

second. Is this good or should it be more than that. I know that

ethernet you cannot use 100% on it.

 

We are using broadcom gigabit adapters with Cat 6 (HP and Dell) using a

Cisco 6513 switch/router.

 

Does any have an suggestion to any registry settings that might help

throughput?

 

 

On our backups across our network, (1 GB port and same vlans) the average we

are seeing is the following: 740 MB/Min

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Eric Sabo

Hello,

 

just to clarify, it's Mbit/s not MBytes.

 

Do you have the latest driver ?

Did you raise network driver send & receive windows ?

 

For backup purpose, you ofter have one server and many clients sending their

flow at the same time. Raising the receive window in the network's card

property made our speed backup much greater.

Yes, the latest drivers are being used.

 

TcpWindowSize 32768

 

Tcp1323Opts - 2

 

NumForwardPackets 60000

 

ForwardBufferMemory 80000

 

TCPAckFrequency 13 - was set on the NIC interface

 

Do you see any registry changes I need to adjust? There are really no

articles that say do it this way.

I was speaking about the receive window inside the network's card properties
