=============================================================================

This might be relevant to Client Tuning. I have been trying various methods
|
|
of getting win95 to talk to Samba quicker. The results I have come up with
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
1. Install the W2setup.exe file from www.microsoft.com. This is an
|
|
update for the winsock stack and utilities which improve performance.
|
|
|
|
2. Configure the win95 TCPIP registry settings to give better
|
|
perfomance. I use a program called MTUSPEED.exe which I got off the
|
|
net. There are various other utilities of this type freely available.
|
|
The setting which give the best performance for me are:
|
|
|
|
(a) MaxMTU Remove
|
|
(b) RWIN Remove
|
|
(c) MTUAutoDiscover Disable
|
|
(d) MTUBlackHoleDetect Disable
|
|
(e) Time To Live Enabled
|
|
(f) Time To Live - HOPS 32
|
|
(g) NDI Cache Size 0
|
|
|
|
3. I tried virtually all of the items mentioned in the document and
|
|
the only one which made a difference to me was the socket options. It
|
|
turned out I was better off without any!!!!!
|
|
|
|
In terms of overall speed of transfer, between various win95 clients
|
|
and a DX2-66 20MB server with a crappy NE2000 compatible and old IDE
|
|
drive (Kernel 2.0.30). The transfer rate was reasonable for 10 baseT.
|
|
|
|
The figures are: Put Get
|
|
P166 client 3Com card: 420-440kB/s 500-520kB/s
|
|
P100 client 3Com card: 390-410kB/s 490-510kB/s
|
|
DX4-75 client NE2000: 370-380kB/s 330-350kB/s
|
|
|
|
I based these test on transfer two files a 4.5MB text file and a 15MB
|
|
textfile. The results arn't bad considering the hardware Samba is
|
|
running on. It's a crap machine!!!!
|
|
|
|
The updates mentioned in 1 and 2 brought up the transfer rates from
|
|
just over 100kB/s in some clients.
|
|
|
|
A new client is a P333 connected via a 100MB/s card and hub. The
|
|
transfer rates from this were good: 450-500kB/s on put and 600+kB/s
|
|
on get.
|
|
|
|
Looking at standard FTP throughput, Samba is a bit slower (100kB/s
|
|
upwards). I suppose there is more going on in the samba protocol, but
|
|
if it could get up to the rate of FTP the perfomance would be quite
|
|
staggering.
